Sam, Douglas, and I attended the Layton Temple dedication today. Elder David A. Bednar, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, offered the dedicatory prayer after making some remarks. One of my favorite quotes from him was, "We get excited about 350 temples. [Pause]. You ain't seen nothin' yet."
He also related a story about an interaction he had with President Gordon B. Hinckley years ago. Speaking about building temples and the gathering of Israel, President Hinckley told him, “David, things were not better in Joseph Smith’s time. Things were not better during Brigham’s time. We now have the capacity and resources…I only have one regret. That I won’t be alive to see it. But you will.”
Elder Bednar told us that we are the “YOU.” He said we are living in the greatest season this dispensation has ever seen and that we should thank the Lord everyday for being allowed to live in this great time.
