We would like to show you all of our pictures from our visits to the temples, and share information about them with the help of this website: http://mormontemples.org
Rexburg Idaho Temple
Idaho Falls Temple
"Mormon temples are the holiest places of worship on earth for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Within these sacred walls, participants commit to live ethical and morally upright lives and to be faithful to their spouse and family."
Logan (Utah) Temple
Brigham City Utah Temple
"Latter-day saints consider temples to be 'The House of The Lord,' and take great care in their construction and maintenance. They are designed to fit harmoniously into the communities they call home and include beautifully kept gardens and green spaces that are open to the public."
Ogden Utah Temple
Bountiful Utah Temple
Salt Lake City Utah Temple
"Latter-day Saints also believe that having their marriage blessed or 'sealed' in the temple allows family relationships to endure beyond the grave. While legal marriage is binding 'until death do us part,' marriages sealed in the temple can be 'for time and all eternity.'"
Mindy and Brad were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on August 18, 1993.
Jordan River Temple
Oquirrh Mountain Temple
"Temples are distinct from Mormon chapels. Sunday worship services are held in community meetinghouses and are open to everyone. Temple services are attended Tuesday through Saturday at scheduled intervals by small groups of church members."
Draper Utah Temple
Mount Timpanogos Utah Temple
"Mormons believe that through the grace of Jesus Christ all humanity can return to live with God. Religious observances (ordinances) such as baptism are an important part of accepting the divine gift heavenly Father wants all of his children to receive."
Provo Temple
Provo City Center Temple
(The free public open house for the Provo City Center Temple starts on
Friday, January 15, 2016, and will go through Saturday, March 5, 2016.
The temple will be dedicated in three sessions on Sunday, March 20, 2016,
with the cultural celebration taking place on Saturday, March 19.)
Payson Utah Temple
We drove past the site of the Cedar City Utah
Temple - the groundbreaking was happening the next day.
St. George Utah Temple
"Some of [the] ordinances...performed in Temples...include making special
promises, or 'covenants,' to put the teachings of Jesus Christ into practice. Because
some people do not have the opportunity to participate in these ordinances
during life, Mormons perform them by proxy for ancestors who have passed on."
Manti Utah Temple
Twin Falls Idaho Temple
"Temple worship is an essential aspect of religious practice for latter-day saints.
It is a source of renewal and inner peace that give meaning to life,
and strengthens their commitment to love and serve others."
Boise Idaho Temple
We also drove past the site of the Meridian Idaho Temple.
It is set to be completed sometime in 2017.
Columbia River Washington Temple
Spokane Washington Temple
"To me the temple is literally a place I can relax. There are no worries from the outside world inside that building. It also makes me think of the covenants I made there that guide my life and will continue to help me throughout the rest of my time here on earth. I love being in the temple, helping families be reunited on the other side. Awesome stuff!"

"The temple is an amazing place to be. When I go to the temple, I feel so much peace. I can feel the Spirit so strongly. At the temple I don't have to think about anything except for my Savior and what I'm doing at the temple. School, homework, sports or news don't matter in the temple. I can relax in a way that I can't anywhere else. The temple is so quiet and calm. It's one of my favorite places in the world. I love the temple."
