About 50 miles east of where four US states intersect, the Farmington New Mexico Temple stands as a new monument intersecting heaven and earth.
“This sacred house of the Lord testifies more than any other place of the immortality of the soul and that life continues beyond the veil,” said Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, who dedicated the temple on Sunday, August 17.
Jesus Christ is the “wonderful link” that binds families together eternally, said the Apostle. “Only through the incomparable gift of the Savior do we have power to bind in heaven what is bound on earth.”
Elder Andersen added, “Every ordinance in this holy house turns our hearts toward our Savior, Jesus Christ, and His atoning gift, and what that gift means for eternal marriage, our family and our posterity.”
