President Nelson, in a surprise appearance, rededicates the historic Manti Utah Temple

President Russell M. Nelson rededicated the Manti Utah Temple on Sunday, April 21, as “a house of peace, a house of comfort, and a house of personal revelation.”

The leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ participation in the rededication of the temple was a surprise to members in Sanpete County.

Originally dedicated 136 years ago in May 1888, the Manti Utah Temple is the Church’s third house of the Lord built in Utah.

“We build temples to honor the Lord,” said President Nelson, whose eight great-grandparents called Sanpete County home. “They are built for worship and not for show. We make sacred covenants of eternal significance inside these sacred walls.”

Look what Utah ingenuity — and a desire to get out of work — has wrought

Lee Benson: "Matt Aposhian, COO of FireFly Automatix, is conducting a tour of the company’s warehouse in the industrialized part of the valley.

"In addition to showing off the impressive lineup of Firefly’s automated sod harvesters and driverless lawnmowers, he’s also pointing out the tens of thousands of parts that are fabricated, molded, welded, shaped, cut, bolted and painted right here on the premises to put the machines together.

"When FireFly says its products are made in Utah, it means made in Utah."

“Steel and electronics come in one door,” Aphosian said, “fully functioning machines go out the other side.”
