Temple Work

"I have built myself a house, and the most of you have done the same, and now, shall we not build the Lord a house?" Brigham Young



Brigham Young loved temple work. During the last days the Saints were in Nauvoo, he guided them to finish the temple and perform the ordinances that Heavenly Father had revealed to Joseph Smith. Brigham was anxious to see that the blessings of the temple were received by all the Saints in Nauvoo. “I have given myself up entirely to the work of the Lord in the Temple night and day, not taking more than four hours sleep upon an average, per day, and going home but once a week.”
