Salt Lake City in Utah, USA, is a holy site for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism), and Temple Square is located in the heart of the city!
Temple Square features the Assembly Hall, a church built during the early pioneering era, as well as the sacred Salt Lake Temple and the Visitor Center. Visitors are free to explore the temple grounds, creating a very peaceful and comfortable atmosphere!
Even tourists like us who are not Mormons can visit the various facilities, such as the Visitor Center, and learn about Mormonism.
Furthermore, if you wish, Mormon missionaries working in the area will be happy to guide you.
Mormons come to this area from all over the world to work, and we can provide guidance in various languages.
Since there are missionaries who speak Japanese stationed there, we decided to have them guide us!
To request a guide, please inquire at the reception desk of the "South Visitors' Center"!
The missionaries will work in pairs and volunteer for 18 months.
This time, our guides will be Hal Vorson, who is half Canadian and half Japanese and speaks Japanese, and De Souza from Sweden!
The two of them gave us a tour, explaining the history and teachings of Mormonism!
The grounds are filled with blooming flowers such as tulips, making for a pleasant stroll through the lush greenery of Temple Square.
Visiting the sacred churches and temples was a very educational experience!
Haru and Souza, you're so young, yet you've left your home country and family to dedicate yourselves to volunteer work. Please keep up the great work for the remaining few months!

This is the Kawazoe brothers. Haru-san, there is mistrust and suspicion. To remove it, I am being avoided in interpersonal contact. I am the victim. It seems that something is ending in no good...NG. Work is going well. I will meet with the bishop and have a temple interview before my pension payments start. I am thinking of attending the Christmas party. Haru Bolson-san, The Souza-san, HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
