On October 21, 2016 I went to the Salt Lake Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City, Utah with my soccer team. The temple is located in the center of Salt Lake City’s center, known as temple square. The temple consists of 6 buildings, but I only saw four.

Arriving at the Salt Lake City

It was a summer morning on June 15, 2014. My nana, papa, and I were packing and I was almost done. Just then my nana told me to load our bags into our car. We finally sat down in the car and went to pick up my aunt, cousin, and uncle, who were also going to join us. Once they had gotten in the car, we left. It was just then that I had realized we were off, 12 hours in a stuffed mini van to Colorado Springs. No turning back we were already on the road. To the grown ups, it was just another long journey

The religious group Mormonism, better known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has had their share of hardship and struggles.

Two events took place in the mid-19th century in the United States that set the stage for a third which became an historic turning point in American history. The settlement of Mormons in Utah and their pursuit to establish their own government coupled with explorations to develop the transcontinental railroad laid the groundwork for the massacre of Captain John Gunnison and his explorers in 1853 which took eight lives. As massacres go, the loss of eight people was not numerically remarkable. What
