Last Friday morning I was able to attend the dedication of the new auditorium and the new part of the student center. Both buildings are gorgeous. The BYU-Idaho Center seats 15,000- only 5,000 less than the Conference Center! It really feels like and looks like the Conference Center.
The morning of the dedication it was 7 degrees outside! So cold! But, the dedication itself was wonderful. Pres. Henry B. Eyring spoke and dedicated the buildings. Elders Bednar and Nelson spoke as well. The choir sang "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" and the orchestra played "High on the Mountain Top." The Spirit was so strong. Elder Bednar said someday we'll tell our kids and our grandkids that we were at that event. I definitely will. It was pretty cool.
