Yelm Rededication

The Yelm church building remodel is finally finished!  We thought it would be done years ago but it ran into quite a few tangles with permits and sewer issues!  Anyway, today was the rededication and it was a very nice event.  We went out early to walk around the building and it's really nice.  Here are a few photos though they really don't do it justice.


A brand new double doorway was punched through the side of the chapel into the new addition - here is a picture from the chapel (Bishop Hyatt happy about the extra space!)
From the front of the building (new addition side) looking down the new hallway - missionaries are standing about where the double doors come out of the chapel.  New baptismal font is in the room on the left.
The new baptismal font - the people are so excited to have this here as it will save them from driving to the stake center - and these 3 wards are great missionary wards!
Marcie T is standing in the new hallway - I'm standing in the cultural hall/gym - so this is also a new doorway.
From the other side of the new hallway - the lady in the picture is just coming out of the baptism room - so there are several new classrooms added, new bathrooms, a new Bishops and clerks offices, and the new baptistry.  There were still several classrooms behind me so this isn't the entire hallway.  They did an excellent job and the good people of Yelm are certainly excited to have this new addition.
The parking lot was expanded and looks great - sorry I forgot to take a picture of it - it went from a capacity of 104 cars to 200:)
