For those who don’t know, we don’t worship the angel Moroni. It’s a symbol the second coming of Christ and the message of teaching the world of Christ’s mission

How honored I am to say I belong to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and how fortunate my family has to have been sealed together in the lords house in Houston Texas… I hope to someday be able to visit Salt Lake City and see as the statue of the angel Moroni stands atop of this holy house … awesome job to all that have worked so hard 🙏

The work of God will always align with the word of God.

I saw the Angel on top today from the mall bridge in Salt Lake, and didn't realize it was just put there until I got home and saw this video. It was glistening brightly in the sun.

So glad it's back! With the newer temples not having an Angel Moroni on top anymore, I'm glad to see the Salt Lake Temple have that really neat part of Church History restored.

How lovely! Angel Moroni is back where he belongs atop the Salt Lake temple! He won't fall off or lose his trumpet if other earthquakes come! ❤ Well done to everyone who is working on the temple!

My great great grandfather watched the Angel Moroni placed on that temple originally. And I got to watch it on this video today.

Yay! And may our Savior return quickly! And yay for General Conference this weekend!

I was on the 2nd floor of the Church History Library when I heard a great commotion by the window facing the temple. There was a crowd of employees and missionaries watching the placement. I went over to the fountain area to film all this. What a big crowd! Happy to see the statue back on top after so many years.

I love how this really is a parable in our own lives. We need to strengthen our foundations against the storms that are sure to come. Connect to the strong foundation of the Savior and his Gospel.

Great news! Love seeing the Salt Lake Temple being restored to its full beauty

Para mi es maravilloso poder ver todo esto, serví una misión en 1998 y vi cuando el nuevo tabernáculo estaba en construcción y como soy de México pensé nunca mas volveré a ver todo esto, años más tarde me casé aquí en Utah y tengo la gran ventaja de poder ver de primera mano como la iglesia continúa haciendo su trabajo , como el evangelio continúa siendo predicado en verdad quiero que nuestros antepasados pioneros sepan que su trabajo arduo no fue en vano sino que somos herederos de una gran bendición.
