Temple Square in Salt Lake City

This is the Conference Center in Salt Lake City. It seats 21,000 Mormons for their bi-annual conference. The organ in the picture is one of the largest in the world. Very pretty, I think. And huge- ginormous!

We also went on a tour of Temple Square in Salt Lake City. Temple Square has many buildings but the prettiest is the temple itself. I saw several brides taking pictures outside of the temple- a Mormon must. (Temple weddings, that is)

It was very pretty. Of course we couldn't go inside (especially me) but I'm sure it's equally as nice inside!

This is a statue of Jesus in the Visitors Center at Temple Square, where I was offered a Book of Mormon and a visit from "the" missionaries. I agreed politely.

Atop the Conference Center is a garden where there are trees and a variety of flowers. It was so neat to see such a lovely garden in the middle of Salt Lake City, with buildings and moutains in the distance.

Salt Lake City from the top of the Conference Center. I was aiming to get a shot of the mountains. It's impossible to truly capture their essence, but it is certainly my goal for the trip.

Even though I am not of the LDS faith, I was still able to appreciate their beliefs and their beautiful temples.

In other news, it is still 50 degrees here. See the snow on the moutains?

What the heck Utah? When is summer here?!
