Draper Temple updates

Angel Moroni was placed on top on July 9, 2008. I can't believe what a difference it makes in the look and feel of the temple. It has been incredible to watch the progression from the ground up.

Presiden Gordon B. Hinckley, broke ground and dedicated the site for the temple on August 5, 2006. "It is a great tribute to our people," he said. "They are so faithful in temple attendance and it is for this reason that we construct this beautiful house of the Lord." Construction of the temple is expected to be completed in 2008. We have heard it will be completed by November but that has not been confirmed.


Angel Moroni being placed on the top of the temple marks an important milestone in construction and coincides with completion of the exterior granite facing.

The Draper Temple is the 12th temple to be built in Utah and is the 3rd temple to be built in the Salt Lake Valley. (http://www.ldschurchtemples.com/draper/)
