VERNAL, Utah — As part of the third anniversary of the dedication of the Vernal Utah Temple, Church members here did temple work during 38 consecutive hours when the temple was open Nov. 3-4.

Those leaving after midnight looked visibly tired, said Brent W. Draper, a temple worker from the Roosevelt Utah Stake. "Those coming also looked a little sleepy. But all were excited to have the experience. Some even wished that they could do it again before next year's anniversary celebration."
