David I absolutely love your videos and honest seeking . The pursuit of knowledge and understanding is so crystal clear in each of your videos. My chapel is not historic, it’s in a tiny community in Atresia, New Mexico. We are largely overlooked or ignored by our evangelical community, but it’s a great community. If you are ever passing through, please stop and see us.

Dale is just an old english word for valley I believe, like vale.

A dale is a broad valley.

Brother David, Thank you, once again for a great video. When I first saw this chapel, it looked familiar to me and when you spoke about the hallways. I know it right away, the building was while and the inside was very bright. You see, in 1956-7, I was 7 years old, our family lived on 6th east 2188 So. So my mother would offer my a choice to go to Church or the movies.....one week I would go to Church and the next the movies. That was the very Church I would go to, it was a Red Brick building and inside it was darker then. I loved the feeling of being in that building, even if I were alone, my parents didn't go to church. Back in those days we have primary during the week, so my mother would make sure I attended it. The program for my age group was called Co-pilot class, the age group ahead of us was Top Pilot. So, one day the sister teacher was going on about the founding of the church.... how Joseph Smith had built the church. In my 7 year old mind, I thought that Joseph Smith was a good builder, as I looked at the walls, celling and the door. Of course I didn't know any different, as I thought he built that chapel all by himself. LOL, not knowing anything else about the whole church system. Back then, I would wander around 6th East area, and on Sunday go to church across 7th East, never gave it much thought, other than to look out for traffic, which back then there wasn't a lot. As far the Brigham Young house, I was able to see the inside of it.... as such for me it wasn't very impressive, I was too young. When I-80 was built the BY house was moved up by the This is The Place monument, into what is called Pioneer Village.

I think you are doing such a great, fair, job in telling about the stories of these LDS Church Building! You are so respectful to all the churches you have gone to. But I particularly like how you have shared the stories about the different experiences you have had with the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout all of your travels. I am so happy that you have decided to continue to go to your Ward in your area and continue to research and investigate this church. I am a lifelong member but I still had to gain my own testimony of the truthfulness of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And I know for an assurity that this is the True Church of Jesus Christ. I can tell that you are very sincere in your investigation into this church. Keep that power of humility and teachable-ness. I know that Jesus Christ will guide you to the truthfulness of His gospel. We Welcome you wherever you decide to go. Come to Arizona we would love to see you here! Are you still talking with the missionaries in your ward

I love this about the church. I had shoulder surgery in January. My ministering sisters and elders and others brought meals, called at least once a week see if needed rides, or anything else.

@@Junzar56 They seem to focus on community and interaction which is a winning combination. I hope your shoulder is good as new!

I'd love to hear your conversion story

@maksat89able Thank you for your amazing testimony!

That’s awesome! We had a Hindu couple convert.

Amazing! Thank you for sharing!

Wonderful conversation story, I converted from Catholicism. ❤🕊️

Thanks Barbara!

I watched a video on Manti Temple. I was blown away! Stunning

Yes totally agree! I was married there, and I’m so excited to go back next month to see how they fixed it up. A beautiful small town ‘castle’.

He went to the manti open house! He loved it. He really did enjoy the history as well.

@@ropearoni4 The temples are yet another thing that set LDS apart. Really beautiful

I'm guessing you are from Cherry Grove? If you aren't from Cherry Grove then you are not alone. This happened to a chapel in Cherry Grove too.

What happened to the criminal who burned it down? Prison?

Yeah, it's a rarity

I am a fourth generation member of the Church if Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Part of the reason I have stayed active is because of the sacrifice of my pioneer ancestors. They sacrificed everything to join the church. They knew and understood who Christ is and the purpose of the restoration of Christ's church as do I.

He has that light in him that a lot of Christians do 🌟

Thanks Val, it was great to meet you. Hearing Ed's story was amazing - guess it's always within His timing.

This is only true for married people. Many single Saints were neglected 🤷‍♀️

Sorry you feel that way. We had 3 singles join us every week at our home sac mtg during Covid. Wonderful discussions, wonderful spirit in those meetings. So grateful!

I've been a member for 55 years. In this time I've been single and married. Single life can be difficult because the focus is on the family, getting to and from Church, and not losing their kid in the parking lot. This is a bit silly but I learned I had to put myself out there and let members know I am available and willing to do things. Helping lets people know you're there. And they remember you when they see you next, at least I hope so. I'm not saying it's easy. I was 22 and single when I first joined the Church and I really felt lost at times. I really wished I had my family to lean on but that was not meant to be. Feeling alone and lonely is very hard on one's spirit. I wish there was an easy answer to this. Please know that you can always reach out as you have in this post. Take Care.@@DesertPrimrose

@@bt5080 there's a vast difference between being single in your 20s and being single in your 30s and 40s.

I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am so thankful for the opportunity to feel the Spirit of the Lord often. Especially when I try to follow The Savior and when I serve others. I love the gospel, it means the world to me!

Thanks. Found this, "Dale comes from the Old English word dæl, which means “valley". Learn something new every day.

Yes, it is referring to the river valley there. I lived near this chapel for a few years and went to a couple meetings there. A very cool older building. There is another one nearby that is the Granite Tabernacle and has some very fascinating features and symbols. Highly recommended from an architectural perspective.

"Dal" also means valley in the Scandinavian languages, from which area many early Church members immigrated. Enjoy your videos and hearing about your experiences.

I LOVE that place!!! We used to walk there when I visited my grandparents. It has happy memories!
