HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"[T]he spirits of the dead gathered around me, wanting to know why we did not redeem them. Said they, '…We laid the foundation of the government you now enjoy, and we never apostatized from it, but we remained true to it and were faithful to God.' These were the signers of the Declaration of Independence."
—Wilford Woodruff

Exterior Floodlighting of the Nairobi Kenya Temple Operational

The floodlighting system for the Nairobi Kenya Temple is operational, creating a beacon of light in this metropolitan area of over 5 million children of God. Near the end of His ministry, Jesus Christ taught: "Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light."
