Utah Trip-August 1, 2009

Kristie and I went to Utah for a week.   She was going to EFY (Especially for Youth) which is a week long youth conference with our church and I was going to the Stampin' Up! convention.  The day we got there, we went straight to Temple Square!  We were taking pictures in front of this water fall, and Elder Banks, a General Authority from our church asked if he could take a picture of use together.  How nice!
This is the majestic Salt Lake Temple.  It took 40 years to build and it is absolutely amazing!
Kristie and I went to the Visitor's Center near the Temple and one of the missionaries took our picture below the statue of Christ.  It is so beautiful!!
We toured the Conference Center which is another incredible building.  It just love hearing all the little facts about it throughout the tour.  I never tire of the tours and information I can learn there!
This picture was taken as we were leaving Temple Square.  It shows the Book of Mormon in all different languages.  Kristie is pointing to German.  She is in her fourth year of German and loves it!  Now Carson has started his first year of German.  We have many German ancestors:)  

The second day we were there, we met up with our dear friends, the Sorensens. Lori and I took Kristie to Brigham Young University in Provo where her youth conference was.  Lori and I got to spend the day together:)  What a treat for me!

The next day I met my friend, Marietta and we went to the temple together and then to do family history in the ENORMOUS family history library.  She is a family history specialist, so she really knows what to do and where to go to find things.  It was so nice to spend the day with her!
