Draper Utah Temple: 'We have been so blessed this day'
DRAPER — Many Latter-day Saint teens in a 189-voice youth choir that performed at the cornerstone ceremony of the Draper Utah Temple expressed a similar sentiment: They were excited to be in the presence of a prophet, sing for him, and help him dedicate a new temple to the Lord.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience," said Elisabeth Kaseda, 18, of the Draper Eastridge 5th Ward, Draper Utah Eastridge Stake.
President Thomas S. Monson dedicated the Draper Utah Temple — the church's 129th and Utah's 12th — on March 20-22, with members attending four dedicatory sessions in the temple each day.
As part of dedication ceremonies, President Monson and other church leaders sealed in the southeast corner of the temple a time capsule containing local histories and other items significant to the temple district. With their families and other church members watching, the choir — comprised of 189 youth from 25 stakes in the temple district — provided music for the ceremony.
