Late the night before, I found out about the scheduled mounting of the angel Moroni on the new temple. We HAD to be there... so I cancelled our appointments and we went!
We were so excited to see the angel on the ground level like this! There were so many people we weren't sure how well we would see it....
(You have NO idea what I had to do to get this picture... Perseverance pays!)
The wind stopped the progress for a couple of hours... but we were happy campers,even in the rain!
Here we go!
A trumpet blew as the statue was lifted.
Once Moroni got up there, the placing of the lighting wire took awhile.
Zanden didn't mind... he had the attention of his Superheros!
Almost finished, they turned the angel to face East. The crowd cheered!
We watched them shake it to make sure it was secure, then they unhooked the cranes...

and another trumpet was sounded!
We were so grateful for such a rewarding experience. I hope the kids will remember this forever!
