At a news conference on Monday, Elder Andersen told journalists that everything in the temple teaches about Jesus Christ.
“This is a time for us to declare very strongly our knowledge of Jesus Christ, of our belief in Him, our faith in Him, our hope in Him,” Elder Andersen said. “Some people dont know exactly where we stand on this, but we are The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and we’re so happy to be able to declare His name.”
Elder I. Raymond Egbo of the Seventy said he hopes local journalists felt something special during their walk through the temple.
“[We hope] everyone who goes through the temple has this ‘aha’ moment where they come to the realization that they have felt the Spirit in here, even though [the temple is] not yet rededicated, that they have felt the Spirit of the Lord witnessing to their spirit that this truly is Gods house,” Elder Egbo said.
