TEMPLE SQUARE

It had been awhile since our family had been to Temple Square in SLC

So we took advantage of some extra time to enjoy the beautiful sights and sounds.

We always enjoy the movies that they show in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, I am not sure how often they switch them

but since we are infrequent visitors they are always new to us. :D

The movie this time was about Joseph Smith and the restoration and my family thought it was extremely well done.

One of the things I enjoy most about parenting is getting small glimpses of my children's inner soul.

Amongst the daily chaos of life in a BOY house there are rarely moments of solitude and quite frankly I spend a lot of

time worrying if they are gaining a testimony of what is right and wrong in this world.

But this day and this movie will forever be ingrained in my heart as a tender moment,

where I saw the spirit touch the heart of a young 9 year old boy with an

overwhelming amount of gratitude and sorrow

and left him in tears while watching and pondering all the trials

and the ultimate sacrifice of life that Joseph Smith made so that the Lord's gospel

could be restored back to the earth.

A tender moment in deed that Cam and I will not soon forget.

And hopefully Mack won't either. :D

inside the conference center, that place is HUGE!!
