Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are considered houses of God, a place of holiness and peace separate from the preoccupations of the world. They provide a place where Church members make formal promises and commitments to God. They are also the place where the highest sacraments of the faith occur — the marriage of couples and the "sealing" of families for eternity. Temples serve as the only place where ceremonies such as baptism and eternal marriage can be performed on behalf of those who have died. Temples point Latter-day Saints to Jesus Christ and their eventual life with Him.
My wife and I are temple workers here on Saturdays and I will tell you right now it’s been such a pleasure to serve here. The patrons we serve, the peace we feel here and the other staff we volunteer with have been the reason why this has probably been the most favorite assignment in the church I’ve ever had. Beautiful temple, beautiful people, amazing Christ-centered experience every time :)
