  • The Mesa Arizona Temple, Where President Howard W. Hunter Was Sealed to His Parents in 1953
    The Mesa Arizona Temple, where President Howard W. Hunter was sealed to his parents in 1953 176 CHAPTER 13 The Temple—The Great Symbol of Our Membership “It is the deepest desire of my heart to have every member of the Church worthy to enter the temple.” From the Life of Howard W. Hunter Howard W. Hunter’s mother was a faithful member of the Church throughout her life, but his father was not baptized until Howard was 19. Years later, when Howard was a stake president in Cali- fornia, stake members traveled to the Mesa Arizona Temple to do temple work. Before a session began, the temple president asked him to address those who were assembled in the chapel. It was President Hunter’s 46th birthday. He later wrote of that experience: “While I was speaking to the congregation, . my father and mother came into the chapel dressed in white. I had no idea my father was prepared for his temple blessings, although Mother had been anxious about it for some time. I was so overcome with emotion that I was unable to continue to speak. President Pierce [the temple president] came to my side and explained the reason for the interruption. When my father and mother came to the temple that morning they asked the president not to mention to me that they were there because they wanted it to be a birthday surprise. This was a birthday I have never forgotten because on that day they were endowed and I had the privilege of witnessing their sealing, following which I was sealed to them.” 1 A little more than 40 years later, when Howard W.

  • It Is Thy House, a Place of Thy Holiness" (D&C 109:13)
    “It Is Thy House, a Place fo Thy Holiness” Gwen B. Goaslind Wife of General Authority emeritus; mother; matron of Manti Utah Temple. © 2001 Gwen B. Goaslind. All rights reserved. A couple of years ago a friend of ours was invited to serve as a volunteer at a temple open house. One of her assignments was to guide people from the receiving doors to enter the temple. Her duty station positioned her near a larger-than-life art print of the Savior, in which He appeared to be reaching towards those in the waiting line. In his extended hands were visible the imprints of the nail wounds. The people were coming to see the completion of the beautiful temple, and she noticed as the people approached the many facial expressions and excited conversation. She said it was interesting to watch as each person eventually made eye contact with the picture of the Savior on the wall. There was a marked change of countenance, and their voices took on a hushed tone when needing to speak. Each visitor seemed to absorb "the message" of the moment and the out- stretched hands offering, "come unto me." Temples are houses of the Lord wherein He may dwell and where He may pour out His blessings. The Savior said that ordinances performed therein "bear record of me, even Jesus Christ" (D&C 68:6). When Solomon's temple was completed, virtually the whole Israelite nation came together to celebrate the dedication (2 Chronicles 5-7). So, too, in our day, each temple dedication is a time of rejoicing for the Church.
