Church History Museum

Sept. 23, 2015

The Church History Museum has been closed for renovation for the past year and is due to open to the public on September 30th. Temple Square Mission was invited to take a tour today before the grand opening on the 30th. We began at The Heavens are Opened exhibit which shows on the Awakening Wall how the hand of God guided the establishment of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through the Prophet Joseph Smith and others during the period of 1820-1846.

Other exhibitions we were able to see were: Presidents of the Church which showcased some of the most memorable possessions, teachings and accomplishments of past Presidents of the Church as well as many artifacts, documents, and art pieces. Everyone's favorite was the Vision Theater which has a viewing angle of 220 degrees and 103 acoustical springs attached to the ceiling to create a floating sound isolation lid. Everyone enjoyed the tour and look forward to going back.

BLESSINGS AND NACHOS

As our Sister Missionaries talk with visitors on Temple Square throughout the day many miracles take place. As the Sisters shared these with Elder and Sister Richardson they were encouraged to write them down. Everyone was excited and touched by the things they read.

So every Sunday evening at Temple Square the Richardson's bring a light meal for the Sisters as they gather to share and write down the miracles that they had throughout the week. We love this exciting and inspiring new tradition and we all look forward to reading the miracles each week and eating the yummy goodies the Richardson's share with all.

SISTERS WRITE DOWN THEIR MIRACLES FOR OUR BLESSINGS BOARD

SISTER RICHARDSON SHARES HER FAMOUS NACHOS AND DIP

Sister Atchu is sad because she can't have more of the yummy nachos :(

AROUND THE SQUARE

As the visitors exit the Tabernacle after listening to Music and the Spoken Word they are greeted by Temple Square Sisters singing hymns and then announcing or inviting them to take a tour in their own language or in English.
