Three doves circled in the sky over the Denver Colorado Temple during construction, as if a sign from heaven, blessing the efforts of those down below. One construction welder was a member who always hoped he could help in the construction of a temple - so he volunteered to help a few days a week after and in addition to his day job. One stake started a Temple Fund years before the announcement came, just so they were ready when it did. Join us to hear these and many other amazing stories about the Denver Colorado Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
