The new Pocatello Temple began its open to the public phase Monday, Sept. 13, with media tours led Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and his wife, Sister Lesa Stevenson; as well as Elder Gary B. Sabin, General Authority Seventy and Temple Department assistant executive director, and his wife, Sister Valerie Sabin.
It has been 590 days since the Church’s latest temple closed its public open house. Feb. 1, 2020, was the Last day for the Durban South Africa Temple, located 10,236 miles (16,464 kilometers) from Pocatello.
A message was given in the Pocatello Idaho Highland Stake center just west of the new temple. The message was given by Elder Stevenson, President Johnson and Elder Sabin introducing the temple and its purpose and sacredness.
