Moroni is Black?

An interesting occurence happened over the weekend. Our newest temple close to the house, The Oquirrh Temple, was hit by lightning (we've had some really strong thunderstorms roll through the area of late). Turns out this is a good thing. There is a lightning rod built into Moroni that attracts any electrical activity during a storm and conduits it safely to the ground, thus protecting the temple and keeping it from burning. So Moroni not only is a relgious symbol to we Mormons, Moroni is also a physical protection. Interesting, huh?

Wow,that is cool! BTW, I don't have a new bike, just one that was gathering dust in the garage! Wish you guys could of been there for Diana's endowment too. But you could make the trip when they get sealed. You'll have to call them and keep tabs on when they are able to go through! We would love to see you down this way, even in the HEAT!!!! We could plan a beach trip????
