While in Managua, Nicaragua, this past weekend for the temple dedication, we learned about a reunion of missionaries who served in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was fascinating to hear their stories @the_churchnews thechurchnews.com/members/20…

All that we do in the temple is tied directly to the Lord Jesus Christ. Here we can become more holy, more like the Savior.   As a new Apostle of the Lord in 2017, I was grateful to visit this wonderful country. Sister Rasband and I were overjoyed to return this weekend as I fulfilled an assignment from the First Presidency to dedicate the Managua Nicaragua Temple.   Attending the temple is a deeply personal experience. One by one we present ourselves at the entrance and are invited into the Lord’s house.   One by one we receive ordinances and make covenants. One by one we may feel lifted, reminded, and renewed in our spiritual journey, receiving greater hope, and strength from the Atonement of Jesus Christ.   Go often to the temple, let its light bless your whole life.   As an Apostle of Jesus Christ called to testify of Him and His name in all the world, I bear my solemn witness that He lives, and is directing the work of the ongoing Restoration.   Stay close to Him, and show your love by spending time in His hallowed house.

More than 36 years after two Apostles gathered with local members to pray for Nicaragua’s future, the Managua Nicaragua Temple will bring temple ordinances closer to home.
