Guess Where I've Been ... Part II

This is the Church's second largest temple. If you look closely at the top of the spire above, you see a gold angel blowing a trumpet aimed right at the camera. Trivia Question 1: which compass direction is the trumpet pointing? The sign above is actually a replacement of an original sign built in 1923. (The remnants of the original sign were recently sold on e-Bay ... by a Daniel Bliss.) Most people don't know that the original sign had 13 letters on it, instead of the current 9. Trivia Question 2: what were the additional four letters on the original sign?

My first guess (I'm just pulling this out of thin air) would be either TOWN or CITY. And going back to the first question, is the answer east?

Well... did you know that Kermit the frog is left-handed? So there!

I cheated and looked it up. It's LAND. Do I win?

It's land, and I knew that, also the moroni faces east, right?
