Apostle David Bednar does the honors, while fellow apostle D. Todd Christofferson does the same in South America.
Now, with Sunday’s dedication of the Layton Temple and the pandemic crisis largely past, nearly 200 are in operation, including 20 in Utah. The entrance of the second-floor patron waiting area in the Layton Utah Temple features this Tiffany Studio window, circa 1915, which was purchased from a United Presbyterian Church in Armenia, New York. That church was demolished in 2015., about 30 miles to the south, the Layton edifice, nested between busy Interstate 15 and U.S. Highway 89, is visible day and night to freeway travelers.
Elder D. Todd Christofferson while serving in the Argentine North Mission in Salta, Argentina, with his missionary companion, Elder Glen Willardson, in 1965.“With a broken heart and a contrite spirit, we will individually receive impressions about what we need to do to present ourselves as a worthy offering to the Lord in his holy house,” Christofferson said in the The Angel Moroni statue atop the Layton Utah Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
