From Ashes to Eternity

Today Later-day Saints all over the world listened to General Conference. General Conference is a semi-annual series of meetings on a Saturday and Sunday where we listen to the Prophet and apostles and leaders of the Church as they give us counsel and direction. Today, President Thomas S. Monson announced the building of six new temples. One of those will be in the restored Provo Tabernacle in down town Provo. (Last December, we awoke to this beautiful building on fire...an electrical fire had started in the attic destroyed much of the interior of the building). It is wonderful to know that a special, gorgeous, old building from pioneer times will be renovated once again and become an even more sacred House of the Lord where families can be seal for all eternity.

The original Tabernacle had a center spire.

When it was later renovated, the center spire was removed.
