A day at the temple

I had the opportunity to spend most of the day at the temple yesterday. Ben and I went and did a session at noon and then we went back to help out with a primary activity in the evening. Well... Ben helped with the primary activity. I mostly took pictures. :)

The second time, they got it up there, but it got struck by lightening (they forgot to attach the lightening rod) and it turned black. They had to take it down, repaint it, and put it back up there.
