My parents live across the street from the new draper temple that is under construction. On Tuesday, we went up to watch the workers hoist the angel Moroni up to his post atop the steeple. On the ground, that guy is huge! There were a couple hundred onlookers, and it was like waiting in line at the Eiffel Tower for your photo op. We managed to sneak in and take this photo. The crane lifted him up with a bunch of cords attached to the bottom, and then some men in a cherry picker pulled the cords until he was positioned over the pole on the steeple. They spent about ten minutes turning him this way and that once he was secured, I'm guessing with a compass in hand, so he pointed East. The whole thing took about 15 minutes once they got started.

You are alive!! I'm glad to see you're postin' again. What a neat picture of you guys in front of the temple during construction. That will have to be one to treasure!
That's so fun you got to see Moroni placed on the temple. Alli will probably remember that, but Alli seems to remember everything anyway. Smart girl!
I'm still laughing about your previous post! I love it!
