We had flight plans for Santiago last Wednesday but our Covid vaccination confirmation hadn't arrived. We were moved to an apartment in Salt Lake City while we wait for our confirmation. We now have our confirmation and flight plans for this Thursday November 18th. It has been a good time in Salt Lake. This is our apartment.
This is the view of the Salt Lake Temple from our apartment. It is undergoing a major renovation that will take several more years to complete. They are updating it to with stand a 7.3 magnitude earthquake.
Tootie and her family came to Salt Lake for Jennifer Pickup's wedding. Manuel is a student at Ensign College that is nearby. It is hard to recognize the temple with all the scaffolding on it.
We went to Jennifer Pickups reception last night. All the Pickup kids and most spouses and grandkids were there. A couple of the Cheney girls and Lauren Neilson were there as well.
We were able to see Shawn(Tooties husband) and Linnie our youngest grand daugher as well. We miss them already so it was nice to see them.
We walked up to the Capitol building. It isn't far from our apartment. I am not sure what is happening with my mouth.
We want to go to the Salt Lake City Cemetery. My great great great grandma and great great grandma are buried there. Taylor Lee from Jackies family is also buried there.
We witnessed the first through 4th days of the tearing down of the North Visitors Center. The whole reconstruction of Temple Square will take about 4 more years. A garden for meditation will replace the North Visitors Center. These are historical times in SLC, as important as when the Temple was first built.
