Temple Standing Firm after Quake

The gilded Angel Moroni perching on top the Temple steeple swayed and tipped back and forth as the ground shook on Monday noon. A magnitude 6.9 hit the neighboring island of Negros and Cebu felt the intensity.  Strong enough that cleaners of the steeple who just came down by way of scaffolds  for lunch, joined in chorus thanking that it happened at the right time when they already get down. Seeing and hearing the scaffolds clanking and banging as Angel Moroni statue swayed is thrilling to the many who witness and feel  the intensity at the complex . Subsequent check inside the Temple and the complex buildings found no damages  and none getting injured .

TEMPLE OPENS

After a two week shutdown for maintenance activity , the first this year, the Temple and the Complex is now open. With workers still cleaning the steeple, much has been accomplished this shutdown than the previous combine. Improvements, projects and repairs were being done this time which contribute to the load of the shutdown activities. All these activities were done to keep the Temple and the Complex up to the operating standards. The inspiring beauty and cleanliness reflect the sacredness of the work done inside the Temple, even the House of the Lord Jesus Christ.
