Draper Temple
We had the chance to go through the Draper Temple open house with the family; it was a great experience. Earlier in the week, we both had the chance to volunteer to help usher and clean the temple in the evening. The temple is beautiful.
Baptismal Font

In the New Testament, Paul uses the practise of Baptism for the Dead to indicate to the Corinthians that there is life after death and a resurrection: “Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?” See 1 Corinthians 15:29
