A weekend in Utah

On our way to help Trayco's, Aunt Khetta move to Montana 
we made a stop in Utah to attend Braxton and Pau's wedding.

Braxton and Trayco became really good friends 
in the YSA ward 
while Trayco was living in Draper

The entire sealing was in Spanish 
and it was beautiful! 
The spirit was so strong even though 
I couldn't understand a word of it. 








We had some time to kill before the luncheon 
so we walked through the city creek mall, 
went to check out LDS Business College,
 and toured the Conference Center. 


These next pictures were taken on the roof 
of the Conference Center.
We had the sweetest senior missionary take us on a tour 
and I felt the spirit so many times as she testified 
of different painting and 
sculptures throughout the building.  






Fun Facts about the Conference Center: 

- The conference center is the largest theater-style 
auditorium ever built.

-All seats in the audience have an unobstructed view of the pulpit 

- All of the paintings are originals, as are many of the statues.

-There are more toilets for the women than the men.

-The rooftop gardens, fountains, and meadows fulfill part of a prophetic statement by Brigham Young, who said in 1853 that he envisioned a downtown building with groves and ponds on the top.

-It is the only building besides temples that included the "hosanna shout" as part of it's dedication
