Once the statue was in place, the throngs of visitors broke into applause and then spontaneously began to sing The Spirit of God.〔 A total of 679,217 people toured the Mount Timpanogos Utah Temple during the six weeks (10 August – 21 September 1996) of its public open house. More than 800 children's choirs - made up from nearly every ward and branch in the temple district - performed near the front entrance to the temple at least once during the open house. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mount Timpanogos Utah Temple」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
