Hi, I'm Kennedy. And I'm Keaton. Today we visited the Assembly Hall on Temple Square. The Assembly Hall was President Brigham Young's idea. The early members of the Church met here for Church services. Today the Assembly Hall is used for different Church meetings, extra seating for general conference, and concerts. The long wooden benches downstairs and up in the balcony hold a lot of people. The pipe organ has more than 3,000 pipes. The sister missionaries told us that the pillars are made of wood painted to look like marble. When you knock on them, you can hear the wooden sound. When you look up, you can see a sego lily painted on the ceiling. The pioneers used the sego lily for food. Outside of the Assembly Hall is the Seagull Monument. The monument was created by Mahonri Young, Brigham Young's grandson. It represents a miracle that happened to some of the first Saints who settled in the Salt Lake Valley. When we look at the Seagull Monument, we can remember that Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers.
