March 4, 2013 - Temple Symbols Tour

Another field trip. Well, the same field trip, with another group of missionaries.  There are just so many great things to learn about the church here in the Salt Lake Valley. For example, there is this stunningly beautiful temple set dead center in the middle of the city. It took 40 years to build, and only a handful of the men who started working on the temple were even alive to see it finished. What a rich history we have right here at our fingertips! So on another sunny winter day we went around the outside of the temple with our favorite local tour guide and historian, Paul Thomas Smith. He is so congenial, and generous with his time as he delights us again and again with his personal stories and vast knowledge of the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Today was no exception. We listened and learned, and appreciate Brother Smith so much!
