My Effort to Visit Various Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Throughout the World
I came to Utah to attend my nephew’s play, Phantom of the Opera, at Spanish Fork High School, where he plays the Phantom. I didn’t know that the Deseret Peak Utah Temple was open for business today, until last night. I was fortunate that I …
This temple trip is all about Edward Tasca. It’s also about my dad. My father served a mission in the eastern states mission around 1950. Back in those days you actually sold a copy of the Book of Mormon to an investigator instead of just …

It isn’t often that I start off one of these temple trips by commenting about the hotel, but tonight is an exception. I’m in the La Quinta Inn and uites at the Salt Lake City Airport and I’m thrilled to death! I flew from Washington …
