Our beloved Prophet, Thomas S. Monson is 82 today! It just so happens that the dedication of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple began today. There will be nine dedicatory sessions. President Monson led the cornerstone ceremony outside the temple's southeast corner, then presided over the first session at 9 a.m. and offered the dedicatory prayer at the end of the session. A total of nine sessions are planned this weekend. The Oquirrh Mountain Temple becomes the Church's 130th operating temple worldwide, the 13th in Utah and the second in South Jordan. It is the second temple to be dedicated in the Salt Lake Valley in the past five months. President Monson dedicated the Draper Utah Temple in March.

We thank thee, O God, for a prophet
