Affirmation Chile Tours Santiago Temple
“It drew us closer to our spirituality, our background, and our faith”

February 2006

On January 28, members from two chapters of Affirmation Chile visited the Santiago Temple, which recently underwent remodeling and is open to the public pending rededication.

"The tour moves through the various parts of the temple," wrote President of Affirmation Chile Brus Leguás Contreras, "and ends up in the Celestial Room." "That room brought many memories. We didn't say a word. It was a moment of silence, reflection, spiritual insight, and connection with our Heavenly Father. It was a very spiritual moment, especially for some of us who had not experienced for a long time the feelings and emotions of being in the House of the Lord."

"It was beautiful," wrote Brus. "More than one among us felt that the day will come when we will once more be allowed in the Celestial Room, as children of God, with the Church's acknowledgment. Some day the leaders will listen to the voice of the Spirit."

"It was a very special visit. It drew us closer to our spirituality, our background, and our faith. We felt very close to each other and especially to our Heavenly Father."
