LINDON, Utah — On a tranquil spring morning, President Henry B. Eyring, first counselor in the First Presidency, dedicated the Lindon Utah Temple — the 216th house of the Lord for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

President Eyring testified to members of the temple district that the Lindon temple is the house of the Lord. Feelings of peace felt there come from the Lord by the power of the Holy Ghost.

For the 24 stakes that make up the temple district, the Lindon temple can be “a refuge” and a “place of peace,” promised President Eyring, who dedicated the Church’s newest house of the Lord in a single session on Sunday, May 3, in Lindon, Utah.
