In this church, the good bye is never forever!!

I am sure everyone felt the same coming into the MTC not knowing anyone, but when we were broken into our Districts, friendships formed very quickly.  The 5 days of training flew by and before we knew it, it was Friday, and we had to bid, farewell to our new friends.

Elder and Sister Mullin and me.

                                                     The Provo City Center Temple

What better way to start the weekend.  Sister Bennett and I attended the Provo City Center Temple this morning.  Several years ago, this building, formerly the Provo Tabernacle, burnt down, leaving, literally a shell of a building. To see the remarkable workmanship in this temple is breath-taking. Very ornate.  I had seen pictures of it when they began the renovations, and the building seemed much larger than it is.  There were a lot of stairs to climb, but getting to the Celestial Room was so worth it.  There were winding stairs up to the Terrestrial Room, which again, I was speechless at the architecture, stained glass windows and curved beams.   Holiness To The Lord - The House Of The Lord - Perfection.
