At least<br \/>\nfour wards can meet in here, it looks like, but right now only two wards<br \/>\noccupy the building. The top floor of the two-story building has the Chapel<br \/>\nand cultural hall. The ground floor has the Stake and Ward offices and<br \/>\nclassrooms. This ward meets at 1:30 pm and starts with Sacrament Meeting.<br \/>\nSo, I&#8217;ve not seen very much of the building, yet.<\/p>\n<p>The woman speaking is talking about strengthening families and speaking in<br \/>\nEnglish. That&#8217;s a bonus. Oops &#8212; she&#8217;s bearing her testimony in Tagalog.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s also OK. There are about 130 people here for the meeting. They were<br \/>\nall here as the meeting started. No one came in after the sacrament except<br \/>\nfor a couple of mothers who had taken their fussy children out. That&#8217;s also<br \/>\nimpressive. The missionaries have several people investigating the Church<br \/>\nhere as well.<\/p>\n<p>There is no organ &#8212; just an electronic piano. If I can, I&#8217;ll take a look<br \/>\nat it later to see what capability it has. This is also the Stake Center,<br \/>\nso Stake Conferences would be held here. The piano would need to be a whole<br \/>\nbunch louder for conference!
