I read the First Presidency message from August by President Uchtdorf called Temple Blessings. In it he quoted President George Q. Cannon as saying, "Every foundation stone that is laid for a temple, and every temple completed lessens the power of Satan on the earth and increases the power of God and godliness." I loved this quote! I found it fascinating to think of the power that even just the existence of a temple has. There is even more power brought into our lives when we are attending the temple. I am very grateful for temples and especially to have one so nearby.
