My trip away
I had quite the week, which I am still processing. I had lots of inspiration, ideas, personal resolutions, and emotional ups and downs. I’ll probably write some more about all that later. But for now, here are the pictures:
The banners of the congregations attending General Assembly were paraded through the hall. Here they are outside lined up to go in.
The program was full of lots of good content, and it was hard to choose which workshops or lectures to attend. My traveling gnome was along for the trip.
The big worship services were wonderful.
The slogan is “standing on the side of love”, but for a short gnome, it was better to stand on top.
I spent a lot of time sitting in these big rooms crammed in with a bunch of other people.
But I did have to get out and do a bit of sight seeing, so the gnome and I took the tour of Temple Square, since we were in Salt Lake City.
Can you go into the temple? I just now wondered what it’s like inside.
No, you can’t go inside the temple. But they have a few pictures in the visitor’s center, of some rooms in the temple. I got the impression it is mostly made up of small rooms where important life cycle rituals are performed, like weddings and funerals.
