The Gila Valley Arizona Temple (HD) - Mormon Temples

The Gila Valley Arizona Temple will be the third temple built in Arizona, following the Mesa Arizona Temple (1927) and the Snowflake Arizona Temple (2002).

President Thomas S. Monson's announcement of the construction of The Gila Valley Arizona Temple and the Gilbert Arizona Temple was his first temple announcement as president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Two of four Church-owned baseball fields in the community of Central were cleared to make way for The Gila Valley Arizona Temple and an adjoining meetinghouse.

The groundbreaking ceremony for The Gila Valley Arizona Temple was held on the 97th anniversary of Arizona becoming a state. The shovels were specially arranged so that ground was broken at the location where the Celestial Room would stand.

In attendance at The Gila Valley Arizona Temple groundbreaking ceremony were the current and four previous stake presidents of the Thatcher Arizona Stake, namely Presidents Brian Kartchner, Jay Layton, Kent Woods, Keith Crockett, and Arden Palmer.

All temples are so beautiful! And I love that we have a small temple in my area which I'm able to go to often because it is so close! The gospel is true, eternal perspective is found within those walls, and I pray the missionaries and members serving may understand their calling to build the kingdom! Congrats to the members who will benefit from the Gila Valley temple!

Another beautiful House of the Lord. Sacred Temples dot the earth making it easier and easier for Heavenly Father's children to attend the Temple on a more regular and frequent basis. I was wondering if you have ever filmed the Logan Temple. I am going there in a couple of weeks to perform ordinances on behalf of my parents.
