On Sunday, Aug. 13, President Henry B. Eyring dedicated the Saratoga Springs Utah Temple, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ 179th worldwide and 18th operating temple in Utah.
“In some places, members may still be required to make heavy sacrifices to enter a temple of God. Yet, the Lord is also generously directing the placement of new temples where members already have temples close by. That is your joy in this new Saratoga Springs Utah Temple,” President Eyring, second counselor in the Church’s First Presidency, told the Church News.
