Manhattan Temple and the Lincoln Center

Back in April, Justin was able to attend the temple. The missionaries get to go into Manhattan to attend the temple usually only twice while on their mission; once when they are out a year and then again right before they come home. Soon after Justin arrived in NYC, there was a special occassion and he was able to go with his zone. The temple is located right across from the Lincoln Center which is the home to The Metropolitan Opera, The New York City Ballet, The New York Philharmonic Orchestra and several other resident performing arts companies. I know the temple was the highlight of this trip into Manhattan, but the Lincoln Center was a close second!

My favorite picture, so far!

This is my favorite picture of Justin, so far. He looks SO happy. That's the Brooklyn Bridge behind him. The Brooklyn Bridge just celebrated 125 years. There was quite the celebration, complete with fireworks!

Brooklyn Bridge

Justin is on the Brooklyn Bridge with a little of that famous New York skyline in the background.

Justin is on the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Bridge. That's Manhattan you can see in the distance. Manhattan is not part of his mission; therefore, the missionary's aren't allowed to go into Manhattan without permisison. This bridge is the oldest suspension bridge in the world. It opened May 24, 1883 and took 13 years to build. It connects Manhattan and Brooklyn and crosses the East River.
