Salt Lake Temple

Last night we went to Temple Square with our friends to see the lights. It was chilly and foggy which lends itself to making the most of the lights. This was the first thing we saw as we came out of the west doors of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.

The pioneers in the handcart companies were fleeing west for safety in their desire to live and worship as they wished. They left behind most of what they owned and travelled many thousands of miles in order to establish Zion.
