This is the crane that gently lifted Angel Moroni onto the temple…
for him to proclaim the gospel to the world.
What a fun time was had in this historic event. Here is our little party of people that stood just on the corner of 200 West and 100 South to watch the events of the day.
KSL News was there flying in the air…and we were all waiting for that special moment.
Our little blonde headed Carl, was wearing his pj’s and Kelly asked him if it was jammy day. He said “no, it is temple day and I am suppose to go with you.” He was so cute as he anxiously stood by me waiting for Angel Moroni to be lifted into the air.
We are truly a blessed people to have such wonderful family members that took time to come join us and for our little neighbors that love to be with us.
Now the real story……..it was blowing to hard to raise the Angel at 1:00 (suppose to be at noon) so it was cancelled. They had to wait for the winds to die down before they could proceed. We decided to run get a bite to eat but every place we went was jammed packed out the doors to the road. We finally found a place and was about to order our food, when the lady behind me said she just got a text and the Angel had been placed.
Moral of the story…..HAVE FAITH and do not leave even for one second or you will miss the most important part of the day. This is something that cannot be replaced and you will have to relive it through the neighbors, the news and the internet. Such a sad story. All the pictures are mine except for the close up of them placing him on the steeple. That is how close we were to actually seeing this historic event…..but we did have a fun day with our family.
