Yorba Linda Temple

Monday, May 18, 2026

On Saturday, May 9, we took the youth to the new Yorba Linda temple open house. Many of the leaders took their entire families and Lisa came with me. A few other couples came along as well. The temple was beautiful and our tour guide was amazing. For many of the youth it was the first time they have seen more than just the baptistry of a temple. There are so many open houses now that it takes little effort for a family to go to a temple open house.

I’m getting very excited about our temple open house. Lisa and I have already been set apart as temple workers, and we have volunteered to serve three different shifts during the open house.

As soon as the temple made tickets for the open house available, Lisa sent messages to all her friends letting them know and sent them links to the site where they can get tickets. She also volunteered to go with them to the open house. Between Lisa’s friends, our neighbors and our kids, I think we already have tickets to go to more than five different open houses. I’m getting excited.

A 1,600 year old mummy was found near the Nile river about 120 miles south of Cairo. Part of the linnen used to wrap the mummy had a passage from Homers Iliad written on it. I guess even back then they "reduced, reused and recycled".
