The Beauty and Purpose of Mormon Temples

This past week, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced the open house and dedication dates for the Gilbert Arizona Temple, the next temple the Church will open. The Church currently operates 141 temples around the world. In conjunction with this event, the Church's News Room has released Mormonism in Pictures, featuring photos of Mormon temples and discussing the role they play in the lives of Church members. To review this lovely collection of photos see:

I have been watching the construction of the Gilbert Temple and I am happily anticipating the Open House. It is always a good thing to have events that help us remember one of our basic motivations for doing family history.
