"Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are sacred structures
in which...eternal questions are answered. Each is dedicated as a
house of the Lord, a place of holiness and peace shut apart from the world.
There truths are taught and ordinances are performed that bring knowledge of
things eternal and motivate the participants to live with an understanding of
our divine inheritance as children of God and an awareness of our potential as
eternal beings."
-President Gordon B. Hinckley (1910-2008)
We went to the temple here yesterday, and can I just say, this temple is SO beautiful! I was so delighted to be back at MY temple with the lovely fountain, flowers, granite, architecture, and grounds! A fountain would freeze in Rexburg. :P All temples are beautiful, most of all because of the spirit they contain and emit and the blessings they offer, but I just love my temple best of all.

Number of times word "temple" mentioned in this post: 8. (I know, it seems like more. :D)
