"Verily, verily, I say unto you, I give unto you to be the light of this people. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Behold, do men light a candle and put it under a bushel? Nay, but on a candlestick, and it giveth light to all that are in the house; Therefore let your light so shine before this people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven."-3 Nephi 12:14-16

Temple

There is a temple in my mission! The Hague Netherlands Temple.

I think it is absolutely beautiful. The temple is located in Zoetermeer, which translates to Sweet Lake in English. So, while Utah has the Salt Lake Temple, the Netherlands has the "Sweet Lake Temple." :)

President Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the temple on September 8, 2002. In it he prayed for the missionaries who will serve there. I feel honored and blessed to be a part of this work.

"Bless those who have been called to teach the gospel to this nation that they may be led by Thy Holy Spirit to those who will accept their message. May there be a great flowering of Thy work in this nation and in all of the lands of Europe. These people are Thy sons and daughters. These are Thy children. We pray that Thou wilt stretch Thine encircling arm to embrace them with the truths of Thine eternal gospel. May strong leaders rise up in ever increasing numbers that Thy cause and kingdom may grow and fill the measure for which Thou hast restored it."
