If you’ve seen a temple, you’ve probably seen a golden statue on top. That was the Angel Moroni. Have you wondered why he stands atop so many LDS temples?
Each temple has stories about its unique construction plans and opposition faced along the way. Accompanying these stories are miracles that manifest the Lord's own way of making sure everything pieces together for His holy temples. Here are six inspiring examples.
The beautifully-designed Philadelphia Temple is a wonderful addition to the historical city, and here are 7 pictures of the temple you may not have seen.
The opening of a Manhattan, New York Mormon Temple was announced on August 7, 2002. A few months before on March 24, 2002, at a special regional conference in New York City President of the Mormon Church Gordon B. Hinckley told those in attendance that he expected a temple to be in the area in the next two years. The Church-wide announcement made on August 7th fulfilled this expectation. The need for a temple in the Manhattan area became apparent during the last decade, when Mormon membership tripled to more than 42,000 members. On June 12, 2004, a cultural celebration was held at the Radio City Music Hall entitled “A Standard to the Nations.” It was a two-hour performance including more than 2,400 Mormon youth from the area. President Gordon B. Hinckley officially dedicated the Manhattan, New York Mormon Temple for use on June 13, 2004. Sources: Manhattan New York Mormon Temple

Want some ideas for a fun Young Women Temple Activity Idea, read on.... This post was sponsored. I received the temple passports to review them. Opinions are 100% my own. See the full disclosure. This year our Beehive class has made a goal of being in the Temple more. So we decided that every other month for our Personal Progress activity we would be visiting the temple to do baptisms for the dead. To kick off this year, we had a fun temple activity. I thought I would share with you what we did at the activity. To begin our activity I gave each of our young women there own Utah Temple Passport. I got these temple passports from Cedar Fort Publishing at an influencer event. You can purchase them from Deseret Book or Seagull Book. Or I found another option on Pinterest, if you would like to make your own temple passports. Here is the link: Temple Passport Activity I had the girls write their names in the books and we talked about how they could write their feelings and testimonies in them when they visited the temple. I love that it has all 17 temples, some information about each one and the spot to take notes or journal. Then we played a little Utah temple trivia game. I made this papers (see download below) and a little game on my Ipad. To make the game I downloaded temple pictures from lds.org. Then using an app called LiveCollage I added numbers to each picture. This just helped so the girls could know what numbers we were on. After all the numbered temples, then I made the answers and just using the same app, typed in the names of the temples on each one. To play the trivia game I showed each picture of the temple and had the girls guess which temple it was, I did let them use their temple passports to help them guess. After showing each temple, I then showed them the temples with the answers on them. It really was such a fun little game and to hear their excitement when they knew the temple because they had been there. After playing the game, we talked about how temples are sacred and the opportunities they have to serve. We discussed they new opportunities they as young women have to serve in the temples too. We then read a couple neat stories from the book "Holy Places: True Stories of Faith and Miracles from Latter-Day Temples" (I had borrowed this from my mom) What I loved about this activity was the strong spirit that was felt as we shared stories and spoke of these beautiful houses of the Lord. Here is a link to an amazing page lds.org about temples: Temples After we talked about the temple, we played a game that the girls loved!! It is called Seek Whence (I also borrowed this from my mom) But here is where you can get it: Deseret Book or Seagull Book Another idea if you don't have access to the game you could make Temple Blocks and fill out Temple Goal sheets. Here is the link to how to make the temple blocks: Press Forward Temple Blocks and Temple Goals Activity and Printables: Young Women Activity If you'd like more ideas be sure to follow along on Facebook, Instagram and of course Pinterest!

It’s 9:30 p.m. and I’m leaving my house. It feels so strange that the neighbor’s kids are likely already asleep. I don’t think I’ve left to go anywhere after children’s bedtimes since before the pandemic began.
