President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to preserve the “pioneer craftsmanship, artwork and character” of the Manti Utah Temple and to construct a second temple in the area in Ephraim, Utah. The Ephraim temple is the 70th temple announced by Nelson in the last three and a half years. Nelson announced an astounding 20 new temples during April general conference, including a second Orange County temple in Yorba Linda.

“Our inborn yearnings for family connections are fulfilled when we are linked to our ancestors through sacred ordinances of the temple,” Nelson said.

Bishop Brimley has asked members to submit family file name cards so that the youth can schedule times to perform baptisms for the dead. Submit family file name cards to Bishop Brimley or Sister Metcalfe so that they may schedule times for youth to perform those temple ordinances.
