Went intoSalt Lake Citytoday to tour the Mormon Complex – wow, so clean, so beautiful, and everyone so friendly and nice. We even got to hear a half hour organ recital, from an organ with 11,623 pipes!! The organist, Andrew Unsworth, played:
Prelude in G Minor/J.S. BachVision, Josef RheinbergerGigue, W.A. MozartHymn, Come, Come, Ye Saints, arr. by the organistAn old Melody (I think: The Little, Flying Horses), arr.by organistFinale, from Symphony no. 1, Louis Vierne


It was an excellent recital, we really enjoyed it and the domed building was beautiful.

We found an interesting tree in the Complex, when you walked under it, it bathed you in scent. Had to ask. You know Marge, she needs to know her flora! It’s a Silver leafedLinden. Just beautiful! See pic.



Just so there is no misunderstanding everything we have said is so true and the Mormons are a real testimony to their faith but theologically we are not even close with our faith and doctrine.

Beauty Beyond Description
Sights the eyes behold, but to find the correct words for such beauty, must be hard. So breathtaking. I can even "feel' the cleanliness you mentioned. Both of you sure do not appear "worn out". What a trip. You are envied.

Beautiful city. We were there in the winter. Marge, found a white soup tureen in our Care and Share shop. I remember that you were looking for one. Would you like me to get it for you?
