As The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints continues to build temples around the world, youth of the Church are consistently filling the temple baptistries.
“It’s interesting to see around the Church the enthusiasm or desire that young people have to be in the temple,” said President D. Todd Christofferson, second counselor in the First Presidency, at the dedication of the Yorba Linda California Temple on Sunday, June 7.
In a new Church News video titled “How the Temple Empowers Youth,” President Christofferson and young men and young women in the Yorba Linda California Temple district speak about the influence of the house of the Lord in their lives and throughout the world.
Crissa Winger, a 16-year-old young woman who attended the temple dedication, said the temple is a place of peace and rest for her.
“I easily get caught up in being busy with life and easily get tired with how busy it is,” she said. “And just whenever I go to the temple, it’s a place kind of to like reset my mind, and go back to that place of peace and love that I feel.”
