Welcome to part two of this week's podcast.

I've heard it said and I don't know if it's true and it's okay if it's not.

The temple itself was actually pretty colorful in that it had a tint of blue on the outside

maybe and a dark red roof, like an orange-ish red roof, which I think would be pretty

fun to see a colorful temple.

I think that speaks to the materials that were available and what they could use.

I think in some renderings and things like that, it's presented as white and I think that

it definitely had more of a bluish gray hue to the walls.

The color is a neat thing and now we have a lot of temples that are built in.

More stones or in colors that are more native to the area.

The one that comes in mind is the Newport Beach temple that's that beautiful reddish color.

I like that idea of this.

People often see pictures of the curtain temple today and it's white, but it had the

dark, the olive green doors, the blue exterior and the red roof.

The doors are green again, but they've painted those, right?

Yeah.

Brent, this is just great to frame the anticipation for this event and everything, but we do

have to get out before the Sabbath.

Why don't we go in and look at some of the text of the prayer itself?

There's a lot we can jump into here and maybe I'll start with a few things that jump out

at me and then we can go from there.

I think that it's a beautiful text.
