Inside The Tabernacle...
We did a blitz tour of down town Salt Lake with Alison She survived another Hostetler gathering and is still going forward with wedding plans... we are so happy because we love her dearly.
Friday, as the cold front was marching in, we were in and out of the Temple Square and other Down town Salt Lake City Buildings.
Jeff and Alison with the famous Organ Pipes in the background. The Tabernacle recently re-opened after extensive renovations. It was great to see a familiar building with so much of downtown Salt Lake City torn up and undergoing a major, long over due face lift.
Me with Alison just before our Mormon Tabernacle Choir auditions.... We must have had the time wrong and missed them...
Ron, Carmen, Curt, Jeffrey, and Alison
The Crew inside the Tabernacle. We listened to the demonstration on the amazing acoustics of The Tabernacle. It has always been a fascinating building to me and still is. I have had many spiritual experiences inside this building as well as when viewing General Conference broadcast via satellite from The Tabernacle. I can just feel the history and sacrifice of the early Mormon Pioneer settlers as they built this building and the beautiful city surrounding it. Yes, the benches are still hard and uncomfortable and still close together, maybe a few more inches of leg room, but not much. Over the years of attending General Conference in The Tabernacle, I have been amazed at how many people can be packed on to one wooden pew. Just when you feel like a sardine packed with no wiggle room, an usher stands at the end of the row and informs you that 5 more people need to fit on the row so...... scoot together. Whoa.....nothing like togetherness!
