The Salt Lake Temple open house has been announced for April 5 through Oct. 1, 2027. The public are invited to tour the historic structure seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., before the temple’s rededication.

Tour tickets for the Salt Lake Temple open house will be released in late summer 2026 through a mobile app, allowing visitors to reserve free time slots for the 2027 event.

Millions are expected to attend over several months. In preparation, Church and city leaders are coordinating expanded public transportation and park-and-ride options to support one of the largest gatherings in the city’s history.

How many good things have we missed because we were afraid to even try? This quote stopped me today — a reminder that doubt loves to whisper worst‑case scenarios, but courage opens doors we didn’t even know were there. Here’s to choosing bravery over hesitation and stepping toward the good that’s waiting for us.

“Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.”
- William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure (1603).

What a beautiful way to Celebrate America’s 🇺🇸250th Anniversary!! ❤️🤍💙

I had the Honor to be part of an America 250 event this morning where we welcomed a semi truck full of food donated by to St. Mary’s Food bank. The church has committed to donating 250 semi trucks over the course of this year and each of the 50 states will receive at least one.

It has been a wonderful week for our family, Aurora decided to take the next step on the covenant path and receive her own Endowment on Tuesday evening and then because Sophie will be turning 12 this year, we were ALL able to go to the Temple as a family today! Such a beautiful way to finish off 2025 & begin 2026! Sure love this family of mine! 💞
