STRUCK!!!

poor Moroni, standing tall in the rain and struck by lightning
This has been such an amazing year for the LDS church to have 2 brand new temples here in the Utah Valley. We are so blessed to be able to see both the Draper Temple and the new Oquirrh Mountain Temple from our backyard. These are both such beautiful buildings, so imagine our surprise to hear in church yesterday that the Angel Moroni had been STRUCK BY LIGHTNING! It happened Saturday afternoon, during another one of our crazy June rainstorms. Luckily no one was hurt, except Moroni.

We rushed right over after church to verify for ourselves, and it was true!! You can see his burnt arm, trumpet and face. I guess we need to pay a little bit more tithing to cover the damage! :)
