Temple Trip--St. George

Painting in Visitor's Center

I was interested in this painting in the Temple Visitor's Center, showing the Sacred Grove vegetation as not being leafed out yet at the time of the First Vision.  This is probably correct if  the date of the vision was in early April as many believe.  







We found someone we knew at the Visitor's Center and had a nice visit.  This was Sister Jessica Starta, serving as a sister missionary.  Her family lived in the Mt. Zion Branch in North Carolina when we served there on our mission.  She was a sweet little girl of about 12, very loving and very committed.  We were not surprised to see her serve a mission.  Missionary work is quite interesting at the Visitor's Center.  They cater to foreign tourists, who arrive there by the busload on their way to tour the nearby national parks.  A lot of the displays in the Center were bilingual, English and French.
