Preston Temple

7/26
Its Sunday! I went to church. Can you believe it? Since the meeting would be in a language I could understand I thought I would go. The chapel we went to was wonderful. It was a much more modern building than what you find amongst typical LDS chapels.

After church I did not want to hang around the flat all day so I decided to trek up to the Preston Temple. It was beautiful. I recognize now that the shape of the temple comes form the former churches built in England with a central high tower. This was an English style developed that was different from the typical cathedrals built. It is cool to see contemporary architecture influenced by styles of the past. Compare the Preston Temple to the much older church at Cambridge University.
