Salt Lake City, Utah
The Salt Lake Temple was built by Mormon Pioneers and it took them 40 years to build. It was announced on July 28, 1847 and dedicated on April 6, 1893. The pioneers gave so much to build this Temple to their God. On the outside of the Salt Lake Temple is a gold plaque that says; ‘Holiness to the LORD The House of the LORD’.

The Angel Moroni sits on the highest spire of the Salt Lake Temple and is atop most Temples throughout the world. He is remembered for instructing and guiding the Prophet Joseph Smith to the Gold Plates, which Joseph was then able to translate into what we know today as The Book of Mormon. As a mortal man, Moroni was the last author in The Book of Mormon and his father was Mormon.

Today we went to a friend’s sealing in the Salt Lake Temple. She and her husband are here from Switzerland and Giulia asked me to take photos of her and Pio at the Temple and at the dinner that evening. I usually don’t do wedding photos, but being they are here for only a week, I decided to do it for them. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, so before I went into the Temple I walked around it and took some photos of the Temple and the billowing clouds above it.
