Mungu alimwambia Joseph Smith ajenge hekalu. Lingekuwa nyumba ya Mungu.

Watakatifu walifanya kazi kwa pamoja ili kusaidia kujenga hekalu hilo. Wanaume walijenga kuta ndefu. Wanawake walitengeneza mapazia na mazulia. Watoto walisaidia kuleta vifaa na maji kwa wanafanya kazi.

Wakati hekalu lilipokamilika, Watakatifu waliingia ndani. Wao waliimba wimbo na kusema kwa sauti kubwa “Hosana!” Joseph alisema maombi ya kuweka wakfu (kubariki) hekalu.

Wiki moja baadaye, Yesu Kristo aliwatembelea Joseph Smith na Oliver Cowdery hekaluni. Yesu alisema Yeye amelikubali hekalu kama nyumba Yake.

Leo kuna mahekalu kote ulimwenguni! Kila hekalu ni mahali patakatifu. Siku moja mimi nitaenda ndani yake na kufanya maagano na Mungu.
