On our way home from the Lake all of the roads that we needed to take to get to our street were blocked off. We had to take a detour and as we got closer to home fire trucks were everywhere with their hoses out. As we drove past a street we saw what all the commotion was about. The chapel down the street from our house was on fire. :( We actually don't attend this building, even though it is like two blocks from our house, the single wards go there, but we would have been there that day since they were having stake conference. Most of our ward activities were held at this building.
** So I realize that these are not the best pictures... they're from my phone **
Dylan didn't get was going on. He just loved watching all the people.
Everyone was lined up in a line passing books that the firefighters were able to save and were brought out on stretchers. They were passing the books to the Quaker Church that is just across the cul-de-sac.
The building is completely gone. Notice how you can see the sky through the window because the roof is gone. :(
The steeple is no longer on the church. It was taken down two days later.And I must add that JENNIFER GARNER and BEN AFFLECK live at the end of this cul-de-sac that the church is on and Jennifer was out watching the fire with her daughter. Of course she came out right after we left! :( My friend even got a picture with her!

So sad! Do they know what started the fire?
I love the architecture of that building. We don't have any like that here on the west coast.
I am so sad about this. That is the building i got baptized in. =( Such a cool building. I miss it.
Thanks for the blog comment... sometimes it is scary to admit you are struggling. I enjoy reading your blog.
What Katie forgot to tell, she now sits on the lawn every day waiting for the Affleck's to come out!
How did the fire start?
