The Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple (HD) - Mormon Temples Video

The Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple is the second of two temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints built in South Jordan, Utah. It is also the fourth in the Salt Lake Valley and the 13th in the state of Utah.

The Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple serves approximately 83,000 Latter-day Saints living in the western Salt Lake Valley. The building is faced with light beige granite quarried and milled in China.

The new Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple was built on a bluff on the edge of the Daybreak Community; the property was donated to the church by Kennecott Land. The edifice features a single stone spire 193 feet (59 m) high, topped by a 9-foot (2.7 m) statue of the angel Moroni. Ground was broken for construction on 16 December 2006.

Located on an 11-acre (45,000 m2) site, the temple sits at the foot of the Oquirrh Mountains that form the western edge of the Salt Lake Valley and faces east toward a panoramic view of the Wasatch Mountains. From the site, temple visitors can see the other three temples in the valley: the Draper Utah Temple, Jordan River Utah Temple (also in South Jordan) and the Salt Lake Temple.

On June 13, 2009, the spire was struck by lightning during a thunderstorm. The statue of the angel Moroni was tarnished, and was replaced on August 11, 2009.

Prior to dedicatory services that took place on August 21-23, 2009, the public was invited to tour the new temple during an open house from June 1, 2009, to August 1, 2009.

The temple has an emergency generator which roars into action the second the power goes out. But we learned that it runs on petroleum which lasts only four hours. By 8 a.m. we knew we were about to go dark again, so we made the decision to simply close the temple for the day. Then,? just in the second that the lights began to dim, the power came back on! (Weve learned since that were the only section of Santiago that has power yet.)

"Families are under attack by media. People have many different ideas about family, they want to change the definition of families, that has been predefined by a higher authority," said Mackowviak. If you run across a statistic that shows divorce rates? are currently down. They are, but don't be mislead. It's because more and more people are living together and just skipping the marriage step altogether.

"I was looking in the paper the other day, $99 and you can have a divorce. And if that's easy, why not?" said Hull. "I think it's just people's excuse to get out of their responsibility. People need to stand up and take responsibility for themselves,"? said Scott Sorenson.

District President Harrison M Lumbama attended all sessions of the training and described it as a day that this generation and many after will always remember. "We have been patiently waiting for? all of the various categories of approval to be granted," he said.
