Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple — Local services in Provo

Very y good !!! Lindo ! A casa do senhor . Se vc esta procurando a presença de Deus você vai encontrar nesse templo. Se você está passando por dificuldades e problemas em sua vida vc pode encontrar suas respostas no templo. It is time for a home-centered Church, supported by what takes place inside our branch, ward, and stake buildings. My dear brothers and sisters, we have looked forward to gathering with you again in this October general conference of the Church. We extend our heartfelt welcome to each of you. We are deeply grateful for your sustaining prayers. We can feel their effect. Thank you!

We are grateful for your tremendous efforts to follow through with counsel given at general conference six months ago. Stake presidencies throughout the world have sought revelation necessary to reorganize elders quorums. Men of those quorums along with our dedicated Relief Society sisters are working diligently to minister to our brothers and sisters in a higher, holier way. We are inspired by your goodness and extraordinary efforts to bring the Savior’s love to your families, neighbors, and friends and to minister to them as He would.

Since April conference, Sister Nelson and I have met with members on four continents and on islands of the sea. From Jerusalem to Harare, from Winnipeg to Bangkok, we have experienced your great faith and the strength of your testimonies.

We are overjoyed with the number of our youth who have joined the Lord’s youth battalion to help gather scattered Israel.1 We thank you! And as you continue to follow my invitations offered at our worldwide youth devotional, you are setting a standard for the rest of us to follow. And what a difference you youth are making!

As Latter-day Saints, we have become accustomed to thinking of “church” as something that happens in our meetinghouses, supported by what happens at home. We need an adjustment to this pattern. It is time for a home-centered Church, supported by what takes place inside our branch, ward, and stake buildings.

As the Church continues to expand throughout the world, many members live where we have no chapels—and may not for the foreseeable future. I remember a family who, because of such circumstances, was required to meet in their home. I asked the mother how she liked going to church in her own home. She replied, “I like it! My husband uses better language at home now, knowing that he will bless the sacrament here each Sunday.”

The long-standing objective of the Church is to assist all members to increase their faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and in His Atonement, to assist them in making and keeping their covenants with God, and to strengthen and seal their families. In this complex world today, this is not easy. The adversary is increasing his attacks on faith and upon us and our families at an exponential rate. To survive spiritually, we need counterstrategies and proactive plans. Accordingly, we now want to put in place organizational adjustments that will further fortify our members and their families.

For many years, Church leaders have been working on an integrated curriculum to strengthen families and individuals through a home-centered and Church-supported plan to learn doctrine, strengthen faith, and foster greater personal worship. Our efforts over these recent years to hallow the Sabbath—to make it a delight and a personal sign to God of our love for Him—will be augmented by the adjustments we will now introduce.

This morning we will announce a new balance and connection between gospel instruction in the home and in the Church. We are each responsible for our individual spiritual growth. And scriptures make it clear that parents have the primary responsibility to teach the doctrine to their children.2 It is the responsibility of the Church to assist each member in the divinely defined goal of increasing his or her...

Their gardens are the best for a walk. The Provo Temple and its surrounding gardens and landscapes are a must-visit for anyone traveling through Utah. The temple itself is a stunning architectural masterpiece, with intricate details and beautiful stonework that make it a true work of art.

But it's the gardens and landscapes surrounding the temple that truly take your breath away. The lush green lawns, carefully tended flowerbeds, and impressive water features make the perfect backdrop for a peaceful and relaxing stroll.

The gardens are home to a wide variety of flora, including vibrant roses, colorful tulips, and fragrant lilacs. There are also plenty of shady trees and benches to sit and take in the beauty of the surroundings.

One of the most impressive features of the gardens is the reflecting pool, which mirrors the temple and its surrounding landscapes. The pool is a popular spot for photos and is particularly stunning at sunrise or sunset.

The Provo Temple and its gardens are a peaceful and serene oasis in the middle of a bustling city. Whether you're visiting for religious reasons or simply to take in the beauty of the surroundings, the Provo Temple and its gardens are not...

While the architecture is strange and somewhat poorly executed, it looks a lot better than the original Ogden Temple did. The Provo Temple does need some improvements. The materials are rather commercial-looking. But because it always felt more welcoming than its former twin did, there has to be a way to preserve the general concept of the current Provo Temple. Replace the precast stone panels with cream-colored granite panels engraved with the same design. Replace the current windows with art glass. Remove the window grills on the bottom and make those windows art glass, too. Refurbish the bottom portion with cream-colored granite, too. Redo the bottom windows with art glass. Replace the portico in the front with something similar to the one in front of Bountiful. Somehow the remodel should look more recognizable as the Provo Temple than what is currently proposed. I had no problem with Ogden's makeover because the original temple looked so austere. But Provo is more approachable than the original Ogden temple was, due to beautiful arches on its panels. They resembled lotus blossoms. Use materials that are more characteristic to sacred structures. But keep the general...
