Traveling Temple Open Houses

We wanted to draw your attention to an interesting announcement from The Church:

A new temple is about to open in Yigo Guam. As is tradition, the temple will be opened for an open house before its dedication.

The local area around Guam though includes many different island nations, and COVID-19 travel restrictions are still abundant in the area. The traveling open house, the first of its kind, will include both photos of the temple’s exterior and interior as well as samples of the materials used in construction so that visitors can better appreciate it.

Traveling open houses will never have the full-impact of visiting the temple, but it may be a way to invite visitors to learn about the temple in increasingly remote areas in the future. We’re excited to see how this open house goes, and if the plan is revisited in the future.

Celebrities Supporting Refugees

If you watched the Oscars last night you might have noticed that many of the nominees and attendees were wearing blue ribbons. They were supporting the UN Refugee Agency With Refugees campaign.  This is a coalition of individuals, universities, faith-based organizations, youth groups and businesses that provide help to refugees and asylum seekers. The visual message of the ribbons is to say that everyone has a right to safety, wherever they are.
