The House of the Lord is Completed!

I went to the Provo City Center Temple Dedication.

And it was wonderful.

Living in Utah, I have been to a few temple dedications in my short life time. But I can honestly say that this dedication was one of my favorites. I thought all the talks given were just perfect, and lets not forget how humorous Elder Oaks can be. I loved the story of the elderly woman who wanted to leave this life with a current temple recommend. I want to be that woman. I want to leave this life with the peace of mind knowing I was temple worthy. Your temple recommend is a Celestial Passport. 

Doesn't that just give you tingles?

Also, after the dedicatory prayer, when the choir was singing the Hallelujah Chorus, the line that stuck out to me was "The House of the Lord is Completed! Hallelujah!" It seems so perfect for this House of the Lord to be dedicated the week before Easter. 

I love the temple.

I love the symbolism and detail that goes into each building.

I love the feeling that you get when you do work for the dead.

I love how time seems to stop inside the temple.

I love that temple is a symbol of forever. ♥
