LANCASHIRE, England — Forty-seven Primary children from the Edinburgh Scotland Stake visited the Preston England Temple Aug. 14 with their parents and teachers. The children walked around the temple and enjoyed the beauty of the temple grounds. Parents and leaders also organized temple-focused workshops for the children during their visit. Stake President Michael R. Watson met with the children and told them of the special purpose of the temple. President Watson offered a prayer including a blessing upon all of the children.

Mark Irvine, 8, Falkirk Branch, said, "Heavenly Father has blessed us with a sunny day after a week of rain."
