Eyring of the First Presidency. It will be the 179th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “We try to connect every temple that is built to the people who live by that temple. Our desire for people that come into this building is that they’ll say ‘that’s my home.’ And the artwork and the flowers, they are representative of this area,” Elder Duncan said.

Saratoga Springs Temple Open House & Dedication Dates Announced
SARATOGA SPRINGS, Utah (KUTV) — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has opened reservations to see the Saratoga Springs Temple before it's dedicated. “Temples are intended to reflect the serenity of Heaven and bring to all who enter in a feeling of the love that God the Father and his son Jesus Christ have for all people,” Elder Duncan said. “We learn about our journey in the context of eternity, where we are at now. It helps to know where we were before so we can understand our part now and what we can do to receive help and strength and joy now in this life and be able to return back to live with Him. Sister Yee also commented on the importance and significance of the instruction room within the temple.

Elder Schmutz encouraged people on Monday's tour to consider the feeling of belonging that comes from the relationship with God as a father.

The restroom floors have “rug-like” patterns that consist of multiple sizes and shapes of tiles. A custom pattern on the floor in the baptismal font was created by the architectural team and the Church designer. The interior of the font has TREND Mosaic Brillante glass tiles in various colors of blues, whites, creams and purples.
Elder Kevin R. Duncan, Temple Department executive director further explained why temples feature local surroundings. The temple in Saratoga Springs is the first of many Utah temples currently under construction to open.
