Ever since the Relief Society lesson in my ward a few weeks ago, Ezra Taft Benson’s “Priceless Blessings of the House of the Lord,” I’ve been debating about how to address this topic. Let me preface this with the following: I agree with everyone when we say temples are the House of the Lord. There is a deserved and necessary reverence when talking about temples, when entering temples, and when preparing to go to the temple. Temples are a place where we take on serious covenants, including the endowment and the sealing, and where we can feel close to the Lord to receive personal revelation. Ordinances that take place in the temple are special, and that sacredness is to be kept private and personal.

My husband had to go to San Diego, California recently for a conference trip. He never likes leaving the family at home so we all went with him. While we were planning the trip, the question came up: “Should we go to Disneyland?” We went back and forth on the decision but we finally decided that we didn’t want to take our kids to Disneyland yet because they are too young (2 years, 3 months). We had planned on driving from Salt Lake City to San Diego; so as an alternative to Disneyland, we decided to stop at every temple of theChurch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) along the way.

When a fire broke out in the Provo Tabernacle on a frigid December morning in 2010, we were all broken hearted. When the announcement was made in 2011's October general conference that the tabernacle would be restored into a temple, we all found a degree of comfort and hope. And now, as the dedication of the new temple nears (set for the 20th of March next year), the excitement is almost palpable. Check out the latest images of the progress of the Provo City Center temple.
