What a beautiful edifice. Walking on the temple grounds is a peaceful, calming, and rejuvenating experience. Inside is like being filled with the light of Jesus Christ, being given strength, love, hope, and a fresh perspective on my life. Temples are a symbol of God's love and grace for everyone on this earth; past, present, and future. We are all literal spirit sons and daughters of God.
This is a beautiful building. The gardens and property around it are fantastic. It's almost too bad it is out of the way, as this would be a great central showpiece for any city. Then again, it may be better that it is remote. Probably the most peaceful feeling place in Eugene/Springfield.

The Willamette Valley Oregon Temple is not yet finished, but I am already filled with excitement and spiritual anticipation. Temples are sacred places where individuals and families can come closer to Heavenly Father, receive ordinances, and make eternal covenants. I can imagine the joy, peace, and inspiration that will fill the hearts of those who will worship there. Even before its completion, the thought of this temple strengthens my testimony of the Lord’s love and His desire to bless His children. I know that once finished, this temple will stand as a beacon of hope, guidance, and eternal blessings for generations to come. Anticipating the sacred work that will be done there fills me with gratitude, reverence, and a renewed desire to live according to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
I always feel closer to God being near a house of the Lord. So excited to be able to worship here.
The handshakes i got access to here did not allow me to pass the angels and enter exaltation and God-hood. Would like my 10 percent of everything I earned as a Mormon refunded.
