Bella Vista Revisited

Last Sunday Diane and I went back to Bella Vista where I dedicated the new Chapel there. Last month I posted photos of the house the Church was renting until the Chapel was completed. Now there is a little Chapel on a large parcel of land (planning ahead). It was a great time and the people there were very excited to have a new building in their town.

Here is the Church, here is the steeple...



Open the door and see all the people...If you look all the way at the front of the room to the right, you will see someone who looks like Diane facing the people...she filled in at the last minute as the organist on a small keyboard!





Here is the Branch President's office...





And the clerk's office, with a computer, of course...






I had to check out the baptismal font...I am waiving from inside the font to those outside of it via the mirror that is hanging on the wall...





And here are the children in their Primary room...cute kids...




This Chapel has something unique...an alarm owl...




The workers said that all during construction and to this very day, the owl perches itself on the fenceposts around the Chapel lot and screeches when people enter onto the land. We witnessed that as it swooped around us.

Now, this is why the town is called Bella Vista...















It was a privilege for Diane and me to be there and an honor to be able to dedicate the building.
