When the Temple was announced in 1937, many of the locals saw it as the fulfillment of a prophecy that Wilford Woodruff made in the area in 1884: "Be not discouraged; be not disheartened, because God's blessing is upon this land. Yes, as I look into the future of this great valley, I can see temples - I can see beautiful temples erected to the name of the Living God where holy labors may be carried on in his name through generations to come."
