25 - The Salt Lake Temple and the Development of Temple Work

Ben Finch

Through these readings, I came to know how big of a deal the temple was to the early Latter-day Saints. The selection "Run This Chain Through as Far as You Can Get It" highlighted how they had to sacrifice so much and do so much to prepare to receive the temple. This legacy of heralding temples continues today. I found the first presidency invitation to forgive others around them to be super interesting and also echoes some of our modern day sentiment about forgiving others.
