I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord." - Psalm 122:1

"I am satisfied that every man or woman who goes to the temple in a spirit of sincerity and faith leaves the house of the Lord a better man or woman," said President Gordon B. Hinckley during the October 1995 general conference.

"There is need for constant improvement in all of our lives. There is need occasionally to leave the noise and the tumult of the world and step within the walls of a sacred house of God, there to feel His spirit in an environment of holiness and peace."
