\"Utah's<\/a>
The Logan Utah Temple (LDS.org)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

One thing have I desired of the\u00a0Lord<\/span>, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the\u00a0Lord<\/span>\u00a0all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the\u00a0Lord<\/span>, and to enquire in his temple. \u00a0(Psalm 27:4)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We drove up with a friend today to Cache Valley, where, after enjoying a bite to eat at the Huhot Mongolian Grill<\/a> in Logan, we participated in a session at the Logan Utah Temple.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the second oldest temple in Utah, and, thus, the second oldest operating temple in the Church \u2014 the first two, in Ohio and Illinois, having been abandoned under persecution and, in the case of Nauvoo, Illinois, destroyed by an arsonist.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I found it quite gratifying to worship again in a building in which faithful Saints have worshiped for 132 years now. \u00a0As Christian buildings go, of course, that\u2019s not terribly old. \u00a0But for a Christian religious tradition that goes back only to 1830, it\u2019s fairly impressive.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leaving the temple, we joined several others, including Diane Larsen (the Cruise Lady<\/a>) and her husband, and Michael Ballam<\/a>, the founder and general director\u00a0of the Utah Festival Opera (UFO), and some of his family,\u00a0for dinner\u00a0at Cafe Sabor<\/a>.\u00a0 Brother Ballam and I (and Eric Huntsman) will be joining together to lead three tour buses in Israel next May<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

From dinner, we went to a fine UFO performance of Ragtime<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre<\/a>, by the way, is one of Utah\u2019s great treasures, and, in fact \u2014 in my judgment \u2014 ranks among the great treasures of the Intermountain West. \u00a0We\u2019ve enjoyed it for years now.<\/p>\n
