By Mountain America Credit Union, advertiser

Even though I love what I do in the financial industry, I have always had an adoration for real estate. I enjoy perusing new listings, checking out open houses, and imagining the possibilities!

Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson Lesson 10: Flooding the Earth with the Book of Mormon

By Kelly Merrill

When President Benson tells us that we need to flood the earth with the Book of Mormon, think about the visual that conjures up. Try to remember the last time you saw a flood or a video of a flood.

This attraction is housed in a very creepy-looking hotel, full of ghostly sights and sounds. Following an elaborate preshow, you enter a modified elevator where you are strapped into your seat. At some point, in the pitch black and without warning, the elevator car plunges more than 10 stories to the ground, then accelerates up and down the shaft in a frantic motion. The experience is incredible, potentially terrifying, and one of my favorites.
