We have been blessed to live so close to the Provo City Center temple as it has been under construction. We have attended firesides, staffed the "information booth" by greeting visitors and sharing temple facts, and watched the progress. Monday it was announced that Angel Moroni would be placed on the central spire so we jumped at the chance to see the placement.
Luckily the time fell between Michael's classes so he could go. He went over early and saw them unload Moroni (who arrived at the temple unceremoniously on a trailer; for some reason I expected a big fancy box or something).

The girls were taking their naps but as soon as they woke up we headed over. Thousands of people were there to watch. At this point, Angel Moroni was hovering over the temple and Michael has to leave to get to teach his class at BYU.
The girls and I watched with thousands of others as they placed Moroni and got everything secured.

It was a wonderful experience! They have since removed the scaffolding around the entire middle spire giving a glimpse of how beautiful the temple will look once it is completed!
