President Monson and his counselors, President Henry B. Eyring and President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, addressed 53 new temple presidents and matrons on Wednesday, Oct. 16, during the first session of the seminar, which was held in the chapel of the Salt Lake Temple.
President Monson identified three aspects of the temple spirit: a spirit of love, a spirit of reverence and a spirit of service.
A spirit of love. Encouraging the new temple presidents and matrons to show kindness to those who will serve under their direction and the patrons who will attend their temples, President Monson said, "My brothers and sisters, let all that takes place within the House of the Lord be done in a spirit of love."
