Mesa Arizona Temple Renovation Complete

The Mesa Arizona Temple just completed a major renovation, the second in its 94-year history. See the improvements made to the 20-acre grounds that will benefit the public while getting a video tour of the interior of the temple. Inside, see how upgrades to the utility systems will enhance the visitor's experience while the attention to design detail harkens back to how the temple appeared when it was completed in 1927.

Arizona 🕍 is very special to our family. My husband and I got married in the Arizona temple and also sealed our Family fir time and Eternity. It was the closest one to El Paso, Texas where we lived. Beautiful Temple.💞💛

[@keithsparbanie2108]

Today I was blessed and honored to be able to attend the Open House and tour this spectacular Temple. Truly breathtaking and awe-inspiring. And not just because of this impressive structure; the peace, love, kindness, happiness, and fellowship demonstrated by Church members touched my soul.

[@denisplouffe514]

I love this temple. When I first join the church in Canada, I was endowed in the Salt Lake Temple. My former mission president invited me to the Mesa Temple: It in this temple I received the inspiration to pursue marriage, family, a career and Church service. I may not live in Arizona but this temple is special to me.

[@pamelafitzpatrick2717]

Absolutely mind blowing! Stunningly beautiful! The artistry is second to none! Only inspiration and revelation from the Spirit of God can produce such an edifice! I watched the Church News at General Conference and the work the Church has accomplished around the Meza Arizona Temple area is amazing! I would love to be able to visit Meza one day!

I was sealed to my family for time and all eternity in the Mesa Temple in 2003. I went to the YSA open house and I immediately felt like it was a familiar place

[@stardustgirl2904]

I love to be in the Temple. I cherish my time in the Temple as a Temple worker! Witnessing the mighty miracles 🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏾🙏🏿💜 of families receiving their sacred ordinances done! I'm thankful to have a beautiful Temple near me, with Moroni on the top,I feel the spirit of the lord there! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@MichaelDouglasSkewes]

I went to that Temple I think at least twice ,it was and is a beautiful temple ! I remember the first time I went to the temple in street clothes, and one little lady asked if I just got off work ,because she never sees people come and not have a suit on! I said ,in this heat? She just smiled and asked how unlike the temple ,I said I loved it ! That was about 20 years ago when I was going to try and go to all there pies in the world, there were about 47 or so,no problem ! I almost made it ! This still is a beautiful temple!

[@-shnae4God.family]

The Mesa Temple is truly stunning! The Lord's spirit is there. What a unique opportunity that Lord opens up His home to all before it is dedicated so all can feel his love for them. I went with my family recently. I loved walking through the Mesa Temple Open House tour with my family. It is my goal to be there with my husband and children and all my family inside there when they get their recommends and remain worthy. I love the "imperfect ox" at 8:46. Jesus can help our brokenness and heal all wounds if we let Him. I am like the imperfect ox in a sense that I am not perfect, but through application of Christ's Atonement I can be perfect, strong and happy. "Come and See. Come and Feel. Come and Stay." ❤

[@kathleentayl]

This is the temple where my parents were married in 1951. The summer of 2020 we came to see the temple. I did not realize that it was being renovated so I was a little sad at not being able to get closer to it when I finally had made it to Arizona. I’m so grateful for the temple and the blessings it brought to my family.

[@terryslade6240]

Years ago, my two oldest brothers wanted to take a trip and attend EVERY temple in the world. I believe there were only 20 or so. Can't do that now! And I'm extremely GLAD there are so many temples for people to receive their saving ordinances, both for the living and the dead who never had a chance to know Jesus.

[@patricias7192]

I love to see the Temple!!!

[@tecumseha]

I don't know who said the last line, "This is the Temple where I grew up. It's home. It's home." But that is EXACTLY how I feel, & I'm sure all my neighbors who lived near there feel the same way. My heart is so full of joy that I get to return to my beautiful Temple soon. My home. ❤

That was Sinia Letui who spoke in the begining of the video.

[@nataliecasias7222]

Simply beautiful 😍 ❤

[@laurapaul8623]

I'm glad to say I have been to this temple!

[@heidibrown2357]

The Mesa Temple was the only temple in AZ for a LONG time. I was sealed there, and so many others in Arizona throughout the years. And so many of us still live in Arizona. I wish all of Arizona was invited to attend the re-dedication. It means so much to a huge portion of the state. That's where we went for YEARS before another temple opened in the state. Most of these temples are 11 years old or less. Those of us who have been sealed in a temple prior to these other temples opening in AZ and still live here were mostly all sealed in Mesa. But because we don't live in that district we can't attend the re-dedication. I could understand if Snowflake was re-dedicated, or Gila Valley, but this is an iconic temple that has served all of Arizona for almost 100 years. I'm grateful to travel down to take my children through for the open house. It would be nice for my husband and I and oldest daughter to be able to attend the re-dedication as well.

[@cathydenton1915]

Such a beautiful Temple. You can feel it's peace through out this video.

[@lilacbunches]

After watching this, I really want to visit the Mesa Temple. Hopefully I can one day soon.

[@lennyharp]

10 Years of service and work as a custodian, gardener and security guard are remembered fondly today as I watch this video. I suffered guns pulled on me a companion guard killed in action between 1 and 4 in the morning. We were encouraged to tour alone and I prayed a lot as I worked. We had to go everywhere and I enjoyed my nights and mornings there. The best second job ever!

[@jeniferfenstermaker4627]

Oh how I have missed my Mesa home, away from home. I grew up coming to the temple and finding shade under those trees while waiting for a sealing to be done. However, the family waiting area will be beneficial, if not life saving in that extreme heat. It is so beautiful ❤️

[@mattctr]

Stunning, indeed! Bravo to all the workers. Even more stunning will be the Power of the Lamb that will descend upon those latter day saints who enter the temple in faith, seeking that rich endowment with sincere intent.

[@wildpraireroseshaman5034]

I will accept as my first stop

[@randybiador]

I STAND ALL AMAZED of the beauty of the temple and of the firmness of its foundation.

[@IsraelSanchezPiano]

This is a very significant Temple for my family. My grandmother traveled a 5 day journey from Mexico City in 1981, to receive her endowment and be sealed to my late grandfather. I hope to visit this temple in the near future.

[@churchnewsroom]

Hi Israel, thank you for your comment!

[@williamfindspeople4341]

Praise God. I have 6000 shared ordinances waiting.

[@koreanature]

I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.

[@PapaKryptoss]

My mom and dad were sealed in this temple. Much temple work has been done here

[@russelljamesmassey]

So beautiful this inspires me to think about what I need to renovate in my life and bring back some good habits I have left behind and add in some new habits and make them mesh beautifully together. Not only the temple but the community around it has been updated, this inspires me to invest my time and energy into my community around me!

Beautiful temple

[@hannahnelson2359]

I lived in Arizona until I was 14. I never did go inside the Mesa temple, because by the time I was old enough, the Gilbert temple had just been finished, and it was closer to where we lived. I regretted not being able to go to the Mesa before we moved. I'm so happy to see what I beautiful temple it is, and I hope to be able to visit there in the future

[@CalledtoShare]

So excited to attend the Mesa Temple one day!

[@DavidRay39]

I'm going to the open house next Monday, the 18th! I am so looking forward to it!!!! I haven't been there in so long.

[@cassiebrooke2490]

First. Also I am so happy that people can return to it now :)

[@kz6fittycent]

I served in the Arizona, Mesa mission and my very last area was near the Mesa Temple. Very awesome and memorable area and experience.

[@donjohnson1557]

We were sealed in the Mesa Temple, then years later when we went back to do work we were so shocked and disappointed to see what they had done to "our Temple" it reminded me of a rabbit warren. I wept when I saw this video to know our temple has been restored.

[@lorraineeaton723]

Beautiful. Love this TEMPLE

[@noelzydee2636]

I know the peaceful feeling that comes within the walls of the temple. Whenever I need a break from the busy schedule of life, I go to the temple and it helps me to reset and focus on what really matters.

[@cedricdeconcordia7862]

Opulent decor, elegant design, and above all overwhelmingly peaceful energy floating through and through.

[@cooperhowz2]

Wow, that looks good..

[@vondadastrup5813]

My first visit to the Mesa temple was being sealed to my parents as a very young child. Visits to the grounds, baptisms, the visitor's center, Christmas lights, Easter pageants, family weddings, where my husband proposed marriage, Endowment, and then being sealed to my husband. This is my temple. I'm so thankful they kept and restored the beautiful murals. I live far away now, but cannot wait to return to this beautiful House of the Lord.

[@mariohiramcabreragallo8473]

What a beautiful building and craftsmanship. These people building these temples have to have heavenly hands of the Lord. Maybe one of these days I will be able to go into this Temple and enjoy the great blessings it can bring to the mortal soul.

[@annroe2891]

That was one of most wonderful video of a temple I have ever seen. Thank you. The Mesa tem ple is where much of my family is sealed. I loved the last statement, It feels like home. That's what I said at my last temple recommend interview. It feels like home.

[@smileysun9212]

I tell everyone that you must behave in the Temple because it is the Lord’s House & He wants us to be reverent. I wasn’t behaving one time & I was with my Buddy I grew up with from Primary. We went to do a session & I noticed my seat would squeak. At first I didn’t want to have a distraction & then the Child in me would make it squeak on purpose. I done it for sometime & all of a sudden my Buddy hits me. We start laughing & the Lord wasn’t well pleased. He stopped my fun & the squeak went away. No matter how hard I tried I couldn’t get that seat to squeak again but I learned a valuable lesson to be reverent in the Lord’s House. 😇

As I sat viewing this beautiful Temple, I realized that it was just like my dream of heaven when I was only 22 and even then I was unable to find the words of the beautiful colors the completeness of perfection, and now at the age of 67 I find myself doing the same no description or mortal man's word can explain or be said to what I finally feel , I feel so blessed

It's one of the two wall-sized murals painted in the baptistry by J Leo Fairbanks in 1925. If you ever get a chance to see the murals the artist signed his name on each mural along with 25 signifying they were painted in 1925.
