Bountiful Utah Temple
The date has been set for our January Temple trip. The Temple is going to be the Bountiful Utah Temple and we are planning for January 17th at the 5:00pm session. It would be great to have as many people as possible at that session, but whenever you can go this month is great. Please email me or comment on the site with your experiences and stories that uplift.
Here are some facts from LDSChurchTemples.com

The Bountiful Utah Temple was the eighth temple built in Utah and the first built in Davis County. The floor plan created for the Bountiful Utah Temple was adapted and used for the Mount Timpanogos Utah Temple. The Bountiful Utah Temple is one of two temples dedicated by President Howard W. Hunter during his brief time as president of the Church. (The other is the Orlando Florida Temple.) At the groundbreaking ceremony for the Bountiful Utah Temple, some 7,500 people gathered on the site with another 2,500 viewing the proceedings by remote video. The crowd was so large, some attenders opted to sit on the steep hillside east of the site.
President Gordon B. Hinckley alluded to the forthcoming announcements of the Hong Kong China Temple, Preston England Temple, and Hartford Connecticut Temple at the Bountiful Utah Temple groundbreaking, indicating that official announcements would not be made until sites had been acquired and approved. During the six weeks that the Bountiful Utah Temple was open for public tours, 870,361 visitors walked its beautiful rooms and hallways, assisted by 45,000 volunteers. At the 28 dedicatory sessions of the Bountiful Utah Temple, 201,655 members were in attendance—the largest number of attenders at a temple dedication in the history of the Church.
