Comments about ‘President Monson dedicates Twin Falls temple’

Rich blessing are in store.

I really like the picture of Pres Monson that is in the Deseret News, It is the one with the little girl, What a Great Picture, & What a great guy, Wait ago Pres. Monson for being such a Great Person,

What a wonderful day for the people of Twin Falls. A house of the Lord where families can be sealed together forever through sacred ordinances. Oh it is wonderful!!

The Lord has always had temples for his believers to enter and make sacred covenants. It is wonderful that the people in Twin Falls who believe in Christ have a temple so close that they will be able to enjoy the wonderful spirit of a temple and strengthen their faith. We become better people when we attend the temple on a regular basis. I am looking forward to 1,000's of more temples.

Everything was handled with dignity and class from the beginning until the end. Thank you Elder Brent Nielson. One great man ended his mortal battle with cancer addressing all the youth a few weeks ago who participated in the magnificent cultural event. He served over that group. Bill Mendenhall's funeral will be tomorrow and his good wife and children and their families viewed every aspect of what went on with the confidence that the Gospel of Jesus Christ brings to us all, and the very reason the temple was built....to bring families together and save souls. We'll miss you President Mendenhall and may the Lord continue to give comfort to his good family. Most will not soon forget what has led up to us having a House of the Lord in Magic Valley.

I am so happy that these people now have a "House of the Lard" to go and visit!

Westerners sure are too casual these days. I would hope the family of the little girl is embarrassed she is wearing flip-flops, how is that Sunday Best?

Judge not lest ye be judged

The Little Girl and President Monson (who I love dearly), putting the Mortar on the Corner Stone. She will always remember that event, in part because some people will never let her forget it. It kind of sets her out and her fish bowl will be looked into more closely then some others. Both a good thing and a bad thing depending on how she copes with it. It is always nice to have another Temple in Operation.

The mother was embarrassed. But would it have been better to stay home and miss this event because her nicer sunday shoes had been left in California the night before. We did the best we could. At least we remembered her sunday dress.

I agree with "Sunday Best." You'd think after Elder Holland's talk about not wearing beach attire to church that some would listen. But obviously not. Stop with the flop-flops already ladies! (and I live in Southern CA)

Sunday Best: Go get a life. I thought the slippers where cute comfortable and it is the Middle of Aug. No sweaty feet and smelly socks. I live in Hawaii and we do wear white shirts and ties but we also sometimes wear Lava Lava's and Sandals and Slippers (shower shoes). Our 2nd Counselor wears his Lava Lava often and Sandals, barely covers his Leg Tattoos. Get a Life. If you said something to any of us we would hug you and love you and welcome you just the same. You could be as uptight as the day is long and we would still accept you. However I some how do not think you would come back. To many colors in our Rainbow for you and many of them in charge. I note that President Monson was cool with it. Why not join him.

I thought the same thing about the flip-flops. We have been counceled not to wear them, unless we are at the beach. Maybe somebody is not paying attention.

You not only did the right thing, but you provided those who have to find something to gripe about an easy target. The girl is beautiful. Period.

"Who am I to judge another... when I walk (Sometimes in flip-flops)imperfectly?"
Instead of judging, "pause to help and lift another" the world would be a better place. It was a beautiful cornerstone ceremony and dedication and how appreciative I am that President Monson chose a child out of the goodness of his heart and her heart and not of her foot attire.

Didn't Jesus wear sandals? Are we not followers of Christ? And they matched her dress nicely! Why soil a wonderful day, a extraordinary event with such trivial things? We had the Prophet of the Lord in our midst! We have a wonderful new temple dedicated to worship in! That is where our focus should be, not on footwear!

To spitme2 - We have also been counselled not to self-righteous stuck up jerks, but that doesn't stop some people.

This little girl is so precious in the sight of the Lord. Remember "Suffer the little children...."? I am thrilled for this little girl and her family because she's had a truly wonderful experience with the prophet.

By the way, we had two sisters attend our ward on Sunday wearing blue jeans. I was so happy that they decided to come to church. I just hope we were all friendly enough to make them feel truly comfortable in our ward.

Yes, let's dress appropriately where possible, but let's not live the letter of the law and forget the spirit.

I think it is ridiculous to be harping on the flip flops. I didn't even notice them. I think it is wonderful for this precious little girl to be at the temple with our dear prophet. We of all people should not be critical of others. Were you at the temple in the picture? Come on now. Her parents made the effort to get her there and she is darling. I have a disability and wear braces on my legs (even with dresses) would you judge me for not wearing high heeled pumps? Should I stay home because I can't wear heels I don't think so! What about a child with prosthetic feet? You have made a fool of yourself.

President Monson was more concerned about the child than the shoes. If he had a problem with it he would not have been in the picture. No one needs help feeling bad about themselves.All I saw was a beautiful picture of our prophet with a willing little one. I would love to have a picture of one of my children at the temple with Presidnet Monson.He is a dear man with a kind word for every one.
