Oquirrh Mountain Temple



























On Sunday we were able to go to the one of the broadcasted sessions of the dedication for the Oquirrh Mt Temple in west Salt Lake Valley. We had gone to the open hosue when we were here in July - so it was special to go to the dedication. It is a beautiful temple set up on a hill not far off the highway. From this temple you can see the Jordon River Temple and the Draper Temple. You can see downtown Salt Lake but the temple there is blocked by the highrise buildings.

Pres. Monson presided at the session and Pres. Eyring read the dedicatory prayer. We attend with Alan's sister, Barbara Jean, her husband Jerry and their daughter, Charleen and her family. Charleen lives in that temple district. Her three kids also attended and did a great job sitting so long in the session. It was a great session!!

What a pretty temple! I heard all of Utah cancelled church so everyone could attend the temple dedication via satelite. Wish they would have offered it elsewhere.
