[Magdalen] VTS Chapel Consecration

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Yup~! it *is* the Houston Area Temple.  It is the large version. There is 
also a one story version, still w/ a spire and Maroni - there's one in 
Bloomfield Hills just north of 16 mile / Big Beaver on Woodward Ave (west 
side) and an identical one in Lubbock TX... I suspect there are only these 
two versions, not including, of course, the mother Temple in Salt Lake City.

single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
