Oquirrh Mountain Temple Dedication

Attended the temple dedication today. Church was canceled for some, maybe even all of Utah. All of SLC and Utah Valley anyhow. It was a wonderful dedication. It is just such a nice reminder of how holy and sacred and precious temples are. There are now a total of 13 temples in Utah. Two of which the city of Jordan can boast of. Since being of a temple-attendance age I've always been fairly close to one. Winter Quarters, then Provo, then Orlando, and now Provo again. I find so much strength in attending the temple regularly. I hope that wherever I live I can be close to a House of the Lord. But if there comes a day where that is not the case, I'll do all I can to remember and reflect on the truths, promises, and strength I've gained from the temple these 13 years and counting. I pray that my distant family can do the same, and be blessed for keeping their covenants.
