This post is a week late, but I got to it. I'm sure there are many of you as excited about this as I am. The Provo Tabernacle, which burned down last December is going to be rebuilt and turned into a second Provo Temple!
I'm ecstatic about the news!! I'm sure many people are. Sterling and I have had Stake Conference in the Provo Tabernacle twice a year, every year since we've been married. Sterling also sang several Men's Chorus concerts in there. That building held special meaning for us. As it did for many.
And now to have it turned into a Temple just thrills me! This is a picture of what the church projects it to look like when it's done.
My favorite thing about it is how similar it looks to the building when it was first built.
There used to be a bell in the tower on top of the tabernacle, but it was removed in 1917 and I think the bell was put somewhere on BYU campus, but I don't remember.
Now, instead of a bell in the tower, there will be an angel on top.
