The Salt Lake Stake

We are members of the 2nd Branch of the Salt Lake Stake. The building is 3 blocks down North Temple from our apartment. I am guessing that we have about 500 members and except for the Gledhills (our Branch president and Relief Society president) all are missionaries in this mission. So that means no Primary, no YMYW. But we do have two Elders Quorums because the 70 young Elders who serve in this mission are in our branch. It is so enjoyable to have the "young elders" with us. We had a branch social last night and it was fun to see their antics. While the branch was singing the welcome song to us greenies, the "young elders" were in the back of the room, linked up into a kicking and dancing chorus line. Most of them have health or mental issues that would prevent them from serving a regular mission, but that does not keep them from being full of youthful enthusiasm, faith, dedication, and a little bit of the dickens. They are GREAT! I found a fun link on the stake, itself, and especially the lovely building we meet in. Check out the stained glass window by Tiffany. That is what I stare at throughout Sacrament Meeting and Relief Society. Church does not get better than this! http://www.byujourneys.org/blog/salt-lake-first-stake-building-2/
