TWIN FALLS, Idaho Hundreds of LDS Church members from across south-central Idaho gathered here Sunday to celebrate the new Twin Falls Idaho Temple.
President Thomas S. Monson dedicated the temple, the 128th worldwide for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The dedication followed a cornerstone ceremony, during which President Monson, President Henry B. Eyring, first counselor in the First Presidency, and Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve sealed a time capsule, containing local histories and other items significant to the LDS Church, in the southwest corner of the temple.
"It is nice to see all of you and to participate in this cornerstone exercise with you," said President Monson, before placing mortar.
