Those who visited Temple Square today also
went through the Visitors’ Center, and were able to
see the displays and be photographed in front of the
Christus Statue.
A feature of the day was being able to attend
the movie ‘Legacy’ in the Joseph Smith Memorial
Building. The film portrayed some of the hardships
experienced by the early ‘Mormons’ at the hands of
mobs and their trek west towards the Great Salt
Valley.
Those of the group who attended the various
screenings were impressed by the theme of the
movie and were glad they attended.
Some of our females commented on the good
looks of the actor depicting Joseph Smith. They
jested that if he was really that good looking they
would have followed him too if they were present
when he taught his message!
Richard Crawford gave those present in the
Legacy movie something to remember as he was
politely but firmly reprimanded by one of the
ushers with the words “Please do not climb over
the seats!”.
After this the group met at an American
smorgasbord restaurant for lunch. The cost of the
lunch was US$7.00 per person. Although one could
be critical about the quality of the food the quantity
was impressive!
The group quickly learned that cooking a
meal was a rare occurrence in an American home.
But we were not complaining – it was great!
