Gilbert Arizona Temple Construction #2

My sister in Mesa, Arizona sent some new pictures of the Gilbert Arizona Temple.  The structure here seems to be almost entirely steel, not the huge reinforced concrete structure of the Brigham City Temple.

Of course, it will be just as majestic when it is completed.

Week 47 (Not flying)

Sunday was a cold and rainy day, quite unusual for Brigham City in June.  The dark storm clouds provided a dramatic background for the white exterior of the temple.

I'm sure most of you heard about President Packer being hospitalized in Boston on Sunday.  I certainly hope he recovers soon.  After all, he promised to return for the temple dedication.

This is another concrete beam in the making

The red cables will be stretched to put the concrete beam into compression

These are the tensioning cables for the concrete beams that hold up the parking structure

This panel of stone has been around for months.  I can't figure out what it is?
