After driving about 6 hours from Las Vegas we finally arrived in SLC. The hub of all this Mormonism. First Impressions for Hayden was that the temple looked small amongst all the sky scrapers and was right in the middle of it all. We stayed at the Marriot Hotel which was one of our best Hotel stays of the trip. Went to church at the Joseph Smith memorial building. Took Haydee to Primary and when we got there the poor Primary leader was flying solo. She had no teachers and no music person...So I was assigned to wing a lesson for the kids. Fortunately, they were all from outta town and they just loved my accent and talking about the crocodile hunter. Ask me later how I related that to the church....pretty genius actually. So that was enjoyable. The saints seemed to me a lil robotic...hard to explain. Had lunch back at the hotel and then visited all the sites. Temple Square, The church history Museum, The convention Centre and other various monuments around the place. I would have to say that the most spiritually uplifting place for me was the Walk thru presentation of Heavenly Fathers Plan for me shown in the visitors centre. There was just the 3 of us and somehow it seemed alot more meaningful. I was a sobbing mess by the end. But it really opened our eyes to our relationship with each other and with Heavenly Father. I love Hayden more!. My PDA for the day.
We left SLC on a spiritual high, having stronger testimonies and a greater appreciation of Joseph Smith and the restoration.
