    Twenty-five minutes into the half hour tour and we finally got to the main attraction. Not being Mormon, I had no intention of visiting the relics of their faith, but the previous night I had been told by some locals that it might be interesting for me to visit the temple and see "Space Jesus", need you say more. I went to sleep dreaming about the bizarre possibilities that such a title evokes. Being insatiably curious I ventured out the following morning into this Mormon oasis of friendly chit chat, foreign missionary 'sisters' and religious history lessons.
