Leavitt Ward Breaks Cardston Temple Record

Bishop Nunn and the bishopric were brainstorming how to effectively use ward temple night.  They decided to schedule a special session just for the Leavitt Ward.  For weeks they announced the special ward temple night - February 4 6:30 session - and to come at 6 pm for a message from the temple president.

The Leavitt Ward filled the temple. After the temple president spoke to us, and we went up to start the session, we filled the benches, and they had to bring in 5 chairs.  We had 95 members of the Leavitt Ward in the session.  Brother Logan Zemp who is in our bishopric and also the Cardston Temple recorder, told Austin at the end of the session that there has Never been that many people from one ward in a temple session since the temple opened in 1923.

The Spirit was strong in the temple that night. The temple workers were amazed. Someone asked what the Bishop did to get us all there.  One sister said it was how he asked that made us all want to come.

In March, we had 65 people from the Leavitt Ward for our session.  The temple policy is that you need about 60 people to have your own session.
