We started the day of with a wonderful breakfast and off we went to......Deseret Books ...... Tony was so kind to let me browse at my leisure ....which was such a joy to me..... Yes I bought a book or two....
We then went to the Tabernacle to listen to a Organ Recital ......oh I just closed my eyes when Come Come Ye Saints was played......I thought of all the Prophets who had sat in those chairs. In the Tabernacle...... The sound that came from that Organ was something else......he demonstrated how you could even hear a pin drop
Without a microphone......you could hear it as clear as could be.....oh yes the Lord surely had a hand in the building......the same with the Conference Centre......I had to take a picture of the chairs that the Presidency sit in......funny hey but it was so significant to us.....Actually the first photo isof the Centre.
The painting is an original that used to belong to Napoleon .....it is of Joseph interpreting the Butlers dream in the Old Testament....
We saw many original paintings and sculptures quite magnificent they are all housed in the Centre.....
I loved the bronze Statue of The Father and the Son appearing to Joseph Smith Our guide then turned the Statue around and you see the Father had his arm around the Son......very moving.
We also went to the Theatre and saw Joseph Smith the Prophet......The Church knows how to move people it was so inspiring.
The Visitors Centre was so well done you could actually see the inside of the Temple and what rooms there are... We never knew that there is such a large Assembly Room taking up the fifth and sixth floor in the Temple ...... used for special meetings when called upon from the Prophet .....many many chairs very interesting......
What a day we came home to our room fulfilled and exhausted....
Tomorrow we go into the Temple.
Be wonderful.
