Lego Mistborn he/him Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 I wonder what the furthest spot from any temple in the world is. Most likely just smack in the middle of the pacific, now that there are prolific numbers of temples on every continent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2020, before the pandemic, I was working at an office in South Jordan. We could see two different temples out one of the windows! 11 hours ago, Ancient Elantrian said: When you have to debate with friends which temple you should go to. I don't think I've ever had that debate. Your ward (or maybe your stake; not sure which) is assigned to a specific temple district, generally the one that's closest to you, and you go there by default unless you have a specific reason to go somewhere else. 12 hours ago, Pineap-spider said: How great is Utah, that the nearby temple can close, and it’s not that big a deal? sorry to all those who don’t live in Utah. It’s pretty great here When I was in Pennsylvania, before they opened the temple in Philly it was a 4-hour drive to DC. Shortly after that, the DC temple closed for renovations, and the people there had to drive 4 hours to Philadelphia! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people (cough cough Utah cough cough) go to school with people from several different stakes. Plus people like to visit other temples because each one is uniquely decorated. 1 hour ago, Mason Wheeler said: When I was in Pennsylvania, before they opened the temple in Philly it was a 4-hour drive to DC.

Also, my closest temple is actually not the one I'm assigned to. I kinda just go to whichever one whenever. You go early enough in the morning and you don't really even need an appointment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Slowswift he/him Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 Started my day today listening to some Conference talks--something I haven't done for a while. It had a marked affect on the quality of my day. (It helped that they were both Pres. Holland: "The Cost--and Blessings--of Discipleship", from 4/2014, and "Tomorrow the Lord Will Do Wonders among You", from 4/2016.) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eran of Arcadia Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 Fun times in Sacrament meeting today: the congregational hymn was "True to the Faith" and we stood up to sing it, but we only sang one verse. So everyone sang "faithful and true, we will ever stand," and then immediately sat down. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lego Mistborn he/him Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 (edited) Dang, I never realized. Makes sense why he was infrequent on here though. Silly silly me I guess. Edit: if by chance anyone is at institute tomorrow and sees a guy in a t-shirt that says there were books involved introduce yourself, please.
