The View from Across the Street

We went shopping last week at the "Big Treats". There are several shops on the 2nd and 3rd floors, along with a small grocery store. There is a small pharmacy, and they sell toys, housewares, clothing and home decor items. I didn't buy anything there since we had already shopped at our regular stores. But I thought the view of our church complex was pretty nice. The chapel is obvious because of the white steeple. Directly behind that is a two story building that houses the Bishop's and Stake President's offices, plus classrooms, and the Seminary & Institute offices and Employment Resource Office. The three story orange brick building at the end of the parking lot has a small Distribution Center on the first floor, plus other offices. Both the East and West mission offices are on the 2nd floor. The 3rd floor has more offices (real estate, legal, travel, and more). The other three story building that is visible to the right of our brick office building is the new mission office and housing complex. Progress is being made, but it seems pretty "slow going" to me. It was fun to be able to look out over the place from a different perspective. The small building is the guard shack, and all the walled in area is considered part of the church compound. There is another guard shack, gate and parking lot on the other side of the brick office building.
