“Time in the temple will help you to think celestial and to catch a vision of who you really are, who you can become, and the kind of life you can have forever,” President Nelson said before announcing the Lehi and West Jordan Temples. “Regular temple worship will enhance the way you see yourself and how you fit into God’s magnificent plan. I promise you that.”
Utah, the Church’s world headquarters, is home to nearly 2.3 million Latter-day Saints and has 30 houses of the Lord in operation, under construction or announced.
Latter-day Saints consider temples to be the house of the Lord and the most sacred places of worship on the earth. The primary purpose of temples is for faithful members of the Church to receive peace, inspiration, and spiritual power as they enter into sacred agreements with God in His holy house.
