On December 12, the First Presidency and the Presiding Bishopric of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints toured the historic Salt Lake Temple, which is undergoing significant renovation work.
President Dallin H. Oaks, his wife Kristen, and his counselors, President Henry B. Eyring, President D. Todd Christofferson, and his wife Kathy, were accompanied by the presiding bishopric.
The temple has been under renovation since December 30, 2019, and is drawing closer to its finish. The Church leaders toured one of the baptisteries, marriage sealing rooms, and other sacred spaces in the temple.
In the October General Conference of this year, President Oaks emphasized the importance of temples, saying that “the ordinances received [in temples] enable us to return as eternal families to the presence of our Heavenly Father.”
