TEMPLE AND FAMILY HISTORY

"The house of the Lord is a house of learning. There the Lord teaches in His own way. There each ordinance teaches about the Savior. There we learn how to part the veil and communicate more clearly with heaven. There we learn how to rebuke the adversary and draw upon the Lord’s priesthood power to strengthen us and those we love. How eager each of us should be to seek refuge there."

        -President Nelson April 2020

Please make an appointment for 4 to 6 people when you make your appointment for the Temple and take some Ward members with you.  It will bless all your lives.
