Building the Tabernacle Experience

Volunteered to help build the tabernacle of the Tabernacle Experience, a life-sized replica of the Tabernacle of Moses.  It was a long day and slightly hard work, but interesting to see how it was put together. Cathy and I drove together and we saw several folks we knew from our ward and stake.  I sure was glad to take a shower that night and get cleaned up after all that dust and sweat!

Don staked down posts, too.

One of the missionaries trying to see if he could accurately space out the posts
using his body length as a measure-funny.

Tabernacle Tour Training

Volunteered to be a tour guide for The Tabernacle Experience and attended training to get ready.  Dr. Parry gave an interesting lecture about the tabernacle and took us on a sample tour.  Tom came along with me, which was a treat! Dr. Parry Tom and I got photo bombed in the Tabernacle! Ark of the Covenant reproduction Note!  These are the vestments for a high priest. who were the only ones allowed into the Holy of Holies  where the Ark of the Covenant was kept  and that, only one high priest, once a year! Noticed that this painting was inaccurate!  This fellow is a priest, but not a high priest, as he isn't wearing all the vestments of a high priest and as a priest, he should not be in the presence of the Ark of the Covenant! Oops! Tabernacle was covered with four layers, as shown Shiny recreation of The Holy Place.
