On the recordDecember 15, 2025
In 2027, beginning in April and ending in October, the Salt Lake Temple, which is to my left, will be open for public tours. All are welcome, with 3 million to 5 million visitors expected during this historic event that will be important to Utahns and especially to those who will again worship and serve there. I invite all of my colleagues in the House and their friends to visit Salt Lake City and tour the temple with me. Though it was not the first, it has become the most recognizable temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Many visitors associate the temple with Utah's capital city. The temple is built of native granite and took 40 years to complete, with the goal to construct it so it would last throughout time. Come experience the spirit of this event with me.
