You can find information about the temple at this link. To attend the temple we encourage Church members to schedule appointments far in advance, consider participating in each temple ordinance, and cancel appointments they cannot keep as soon as possible so others may attend.

Message for you
Your Personal Gift from God
President Russell M. Nelson reminded us that “every activity, every lesson, all we do in
the Church, point to the Lord and His holy house. Our efforts to proclaim the gospel,
perfect the Saints, and redeem the dead all lead to the temple. Each holy temple stands
as a symbol of our membership in the Church, as a sign of our faith in life after death,
and as a sacred step toward eternal glory for us and our families” (“Personal
Preparation for Temple Blessings,” Ensign, May 2001, 32; Liahona, July 2001, 37).
Only in the temple can we make sacred covenants that include the promise of eternal
life in the kingdom of God, which is “the greatest of all the gifts of God” (Doctrine and
Covenants 14:7). Temple ordinances and covenants have always been part of the
gospel of Jesus Christ. They strengthen a divine relationship and help us focus on the
Savior, His Atonement, and our commitment to follow Him.
BAPTISM: God Loves All of His Children
Every person is a child of God. All are precious to Him. He knows them and He loves
them. He declared, “For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the
immortality and eternal life of man” (Moses 1:39). He has provided a way for all of His
children to return to Him after this life. That way is the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Many people have the opportunity to accept the gospel and be baptized in this life. But
what about those who die without being baptized or even knowing about Jesus? How
can they also be saved? God has not forgotten them!
In the temple, we can be baptized and confirmed for those who have died without that
opportunity. In other words, we can represent them and act in their place. Ordinances
performed for others are called proxy ordinances (or vicarious ordinances). The Apostle
Paul taught the Corinthians that baptism for the dead was practiced because all people
will be resurrected through the Atonement of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:29, 55–57).
Temple baptisms and confirmations done for those who have died are gifts offered in
love. And because we believe that life continues after death, we also believe that those
who have died are aware of the ordinances. They can then choose whether or not to
accept them.
A Special Promise for You
Elder David A. Bednar said: “I encourage you to study, to search out your ancestors,
and to prepare yourselves to perform proxy baptisms in the house of the Lord
for your kindred dead. … As you respond in faith to this invitation, your hearts shall turn
to the fathers. The promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will be implanted in
your hearts. … Your love and gratitude for your ancestors will increase. Your testimony
of and conversion to the Savior will become deep and abiding. And I promise you will be
protected against the intensifying influence of the adversary. As you participate in and
love this holy work, you will be safeguarded … throughout your lives” (“The Hearts of
the Children Shall Turn,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2011, 26–27).
