Salt Lake City and Mormon Church

Mormon Church
We had several places to go in Salt Lake City today before we move out again. The first was the Salt Lake itself. It’s a beautiful sight, but it smelled like utter shit. The best way to describe the smell is probably tons of dead fish, just a hundred times worse. The pictures I took looked nice, though. I’m glad pictures don’t also carry the smell.
The next stop for us is Salt Lake City’s Mormon Church, one of the biggest in the country. In fact, I didn’t know this, but something like 80% of the people who live in Utah are Mormons! At first I wasn’t so excited. I was never big on religion. I describe myself as Agnostic, but I pretty much am an Atheist and believe in evolution. I still went on the tour with an open mind, however. The sister who showed us around was very nice and didn’t try to convert us at all, for which I’m grateful. Since our tour group was almost all Chinese, the sister guide we had was half Chinese and half White. I was surprised when she told us that because while she spoke both Chinese and English fluently, she didn’t look White at all.
