After a good night's sleep, we headed to the Las Vegas temple for a session.  The temple is on the far East side of Las Vegas nestled against the mountains on that side of the valley.  It is an older temple and has been there for some years.

Taken from the East side.  The trees pretty much obscure the temple from most angles so this angle is about the only really clear shot.  It was a very pleasant day in Las Vegas.

This is an unusual view of the front of the temple, mid-way in the temple.  You don't usually see this view anywhere.

The entryway to the recommend desk.  

Across the street, looking East, about a block away the mountain goes straight up.  On the right is a house that has a man-made stream in it's front yard.  Well, ya know, this is Las Vegas.

The entry way sign.

Well, when in Las Vegas...a cell tower that looks like a palm tree.  What, are you kidding me?   As we drove a little bit farther past it, it looked even more like a palm tree.  Now, that's just weird!  

So, now on to St. George, just a couple of hours away.

Drove by on our way into St. George for our first stop.

Our first stop was over at the Family History Center and the Records Operations Center (ROC) where they do extensive research for projects for the FHC.  We got there kind of late and the director invited us over to the temple for one of their twice monthly temple sessions.  So we went with them and did that.  Had dinner over at the temple then talked about the ROC for a while during dinner. 

Afterwards, we went to the hotel for the night and tried to get some sleep.  We only had the room for one night and weren't sure what we were going to do the next night.  But, while waiting for the session, Arlene ran into connie Webb, our partner that we went to Burlington, IA ward back in Nauvoo.  She invited us to have lunch with her the next day and then to come stay with her for a couple of days, which we gladly accepted.  We wanted to spend a couple of hours at the ROC and see what they do there before we left St George.  On to tomorrow...
