HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"Though I live with it, this matter of temple construction is a thing of awesome wonder to me. We are trying to build in such a way and in such places across the world that these houses of the Lord may stand and serve through the Millennium."
—Gordon B. Hinckley
