Provo City Center Temple - Crews Working Nights
This evening after dinner my wife and I stopped by the construction site of the Provo City Center Temple. The place was all lit up and the work crews were hard at work even in the dark. The crater underneath the brick temple is even deeper than before!
While we were there it was raining slightly, but not enough to account for the amount of water being pumped out of the giant crater beneath the brick temple. I have no explanation for the water that is accumulating under the temple. I will see what I can find out.
In addition, the multi-story parking structure that was once used by NuSkin employees next to the temple site is now just a pile of concrete rubble. The new NuSkin parking structure is two blocks South West of the temple lot. Apparently it is a bit too far from the NuSkin building for some lazy employees who are taking over parking spaces from other businesses closer to the NuSkin building than their new structure. It will certainly mean trouble, so expect enforcement of parking permits in private structures in the surrounding area.

LDS Provo City Center Temple Progress - Feb 2013
With the construction site surrounded by a tall green fence, it is difficult to see the progress that is being made on the new LDS Temple in Provo, Utah. This month I ventured into the four story NuSkin parking structure next to the construction site for a closer look. I could't believe my eyes! The old Provo Tabernacle is sitting on stilts about 25 feet off the ground!
A construction crew is hard at work underneath the old Tabernacle loading dirt into a large dump truck which them hauls the dirt to a temporary storage area nearby. According to reliable sources, the plan is to haul out enough dirt to then construct two lower floors under the old Tabernacle at which time the shell of the old building will be set in place on top.
It is amazing to think that a building like this could be set on stilts while work is completed underneath, but work is going smoothly. I will help keep you informed of the progress as I learn more.

This Christmas we continued our family tradition of preparing Danish Aebleskivers for breakfast. With fresh strawberry jam and powdered sugar, they are DELICIOUS!

Living Nativity in Santa Monica, California
The city of Santa Monica, California, recently outlawed their yearly Christmas Nativity that had become a tradition over many years.
Not to be discouraged, a group of Christians organized a Living Nativity inside one of the city malls, complete with costumes, a manager, and a choir. As you can see in the link below, the nativity drew quite a crowd and soon everyone joined in singing Silent Night.
