Notes
"This carving represents the temple in its vital role as the only place that we can receive and perform the saving ordinances in order for ourselves and our ancestors to be exalted. Through the atoning sacrifice of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and staying true and faithful to the holy covenants we have made, it is the means by which we will enjoy the glory and eternal happiness promised us by our Father in Heaven."
