More Moroni

Here are some photos from Stephen Phelps. He took them this evening and then added his own artistic flare through some photoshop actions... Love!!

This next picture was sent to me by Heidi Hagen. It touched me so much... may our children always look towards the temple and the saving ordinances within its walls.

From Beginning to End.

Here are some sequential photos I took today as I stood in the hayfields. It was a wonderful experience. Once in a life time -- I probably should have taken the kids out of school. :)

And finally, my favorite view... the one from my back yard!

By the way, here is a new article that was released today... probably the same people in that pesky helicopter.

Moroni

Jeff Littig sent me this AMAZING shot... It is such a wonderful feeling to see this atop our temple!

Here are some others he sent of Moroni before he was raised up.

So people are asking me, "What's the big deal about a statue of Angel Moroni?"

I am snagging this answer from my friend since she said it so well. Thank you Sheryl Halls!

"Statues of the angel Moroni atop our temples herald the gospel going forth “to every nation, kindred, and tongue, and people” in this latter-day regathering of Israel...
The Church’s angel Moroni statues have come to symbolize for Latter-day Saints the restoration of the gospel in these latter days. Images of the statues have been used on Book of Mormon covers and Church pamphlets. For many, these statues herald the gospel being preached “to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people” (Rev. 14:6). (See related article, page 25.)"

What a wonderful day!!
