“Time in the temple will help you think heavenly and envision who you really are, who you can become, and the kind of life you can have forever” said President Nelson before the Lehi and West Jordan Temples were announced.

“Latter-day Saints consider temples to be the house of the Lord and the holiest places of worship on earth,” the church said Monday. “The primary purpose of temples is that faithful members of the Church will receive peace, inspiration, and spiritual strength as they enter into sacred covenants with God in His holy house.”
