Richard and Sandy went
shopping in the mall across from
Temple Square, where Richard ran
into the conductor of the Mormon
Tabernacle Choir. The conductor
had already heard excellent reports
of the group’s performance at the
Returned Missionary’s Reunion the
previous evening
– word gets
around fast in the city!
Sandy checked out the
Deseret Book Store in the mall (a
predominantly religious outlet) and
ear-marked a number of items that
he planned to buy on Monday –
items not readily available at home.

In the chapel beside the culture hall where the group attended the
Kiwi Gold & Green dance was a stained glass window that was
over 140 years old.
When the Latter-day Saint pioneers arrived in the Great Salt Lake
Valley they constructed their first chapel on this same spot and
brought in the materials with which to construct this window, called
“Joseph’s First Vision”.
The original chapel was replaced by the current building complex
and the window was retained and later covered over from the
outside to preserve it.
It is back-lit so that those attending the regular meetings in the
chapel can view it. The window is over six meters high.
Brian Layton was able to turn on the back-lighting for us so that
some members of the group could see the effect.
