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.
