For The First Time In A Generation, The Mormon Temple Will Open To The Public

[NNadir]

12. A friend and his wife prevailed on my wife and I to go on the tour of the San Diego temple.

It was just before it opened. You could see it from the freeway.

We worked together and I, being from the East, as was my friend, kept calling it the "Giant Carvel Ice Cream Factory."

It wasn't memorable. I vaguely recall the big giant gilded baptismal font supported on the back of giant cows, some large murals of Jesus that looked kind of like the cover art on books from Sunday School classes when I was a child and the blank smiling faces of the guides who I remember as being very white and very blonde.
