Looking Forward to Oquirrh Mt Temple Dedication

Doctrine & Covenants 109:24 We ask thee, Holy Father, to establish the people that shall worship, and honorably hold a name and standing in this thy house, to all generations and for eternity;




I was reading in III Nephi this morning and found this scripture. It reminds me of the upcoming announcement of the newest temple here in Utah. My extended Family will be going to the open house in the last week of July. It is a great time for the grandchildren to see a temple before they are of age to attend. This pleases me very much for this opportunity.

29 May the Lord preserve his people in righteousness and in holiness of heart, that they may cause to be felled to the earth all who shall seek to slay them because of power and secret combinations, even as this man hath been felled to the earth.
30 And they did rejoice and cry again with one voice, saying: May the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, protect this people in righteousness, so long as they shall call on the name of their God for protection.
31 And it came to pass that they did break forth, all as one, in singing, and praising their God for the great thing which he had done for them, in preserving them from falling into the hands of their enemies.
32 Yea, they did cry: Hosanna to the Most High God. And they did cry: Blessed be the name of the Lord God Almighty, the Most High God.
33 And their hearts were swollen with joy, unto the gushing out of many tears, because of the great goodness of God in delivering them out of the hands of their enemies; and they knew it was because of their repentance and their humility that they had been delivered from an everlasting destruction.


I am thankful that our prophet, Thomas S. Monson has extended the dedication for Utah members to see the dedication via satellite August 23. It is a special event.
