Connection

This was great. I learned so much. He asks a question about how the saints today feel about the reconstruction of the temple. He says that it’s a connection with the past and present as well as a connection with God. I think there’s a little more. We know that because of Jesus Christ all wrongs will be made right. I feel like this is also a representation of what Jesus Christ has done and will do for all of us. It is beauty for ashes.
