Rainbow Forms Over the Ephraim Utah Temple

A rainbow formed over the beautiful Ephraim Utah Temple during a recent rain shower. "I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about. As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance…of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake" (Ezekiel 1:27–28).
