"LDS temples are holy places of worship where individuals make sacred covenants (promises) with God. Temples are places of learning and their principal purpose is to provide ordinances necessary for the children of God to enable them to return to dwell with Him. The Lord blesses those who attend to the sacred ordinance work in the temple. And the blessings He gives will not be limited to the time spent in the temple. Those who do temple work will be blessed in all aspects of their lives. Their labors in the temple will strengthen them and refine them spiritually." (True to the Faith)
LDS Prophet, Thomas S. Monson has said of temples:
"As I think of temples, my thoughts turn to the many blessings we receive therein. As we enter through the doors of the temple, we leave behind us the distractions and confusion of the world. Inside this sacred sanctuary, we find beauty and order. There is rest for our souls and a respite from the cares of our lives."
This was definitely a day of rest for our souls, and a much needed break from the cares of our lives.
