The Temple Dedication
Illustrations by Jared Beckstrand
My first ever temple dedication was for the Provo City Center Temple. When I heard Elder Dallin H. Oaks first start speaking, I knew it would be wonderful. And it was. The first song and speaker I heard, my soul was filled with peace. As I took notes, I knew that what the Apostles were saying was true.
If you’re young, I challenge you to take notes, not only at dedications but at your Church meetings too. I hope you feel the Spirit as much as I did at the Provo City Center Temple dedication.
