Angel Moroni statue replaced, rotated at Spokane Temple
By Craig Howard, News EditorShare:
June 1, 2009 — Carol Willoughby noticed something slightly different as she was driving past the Spokane Temple one morning this March.
The trademark apex of the temple, a statue of Angel Moroni, was being lifted through the air by a construction crane. Willoughby, on her way to work into Spokane Valley down Highway 27, pulled into the Spokane East Stake Center parking lot to join a small crowd that had gathered outside the temple.
"I was going by and I thought I'd stop and see what was happening," Willoughby said.

That is, unless you're one of Sister Dru Coleman's Beehive girls from the Riverside Ward in the Colville Stake.
