That's so amazing! He sounds like an incredible person! I have loved hearing these stories of building the Saratoga Springs Temple, I'm sure he had some incredible ones!
As a Rock guy (Lapidary) I loved this story. While working in the Rexburg temple I heard some interesting stories from some of the stone masons. Of most interest are the agates in the windows on the celestial level. The most prominent is the inside window at the end of the hallway between sealing rooms. The window maker started this in one of the Texas temple when they found agates when digging the foundation/basements. The practice comes from Isaiah 54:11 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones Message me and I can give you a little more information
I was blessed to caulk the stone ! Such hard work!!! Had so much help in clouding my Dad and Grandfather from the other side! My favorite thing on this Temple is the blue stone❤
What a privilege it must have been to get to get to work with this specially preserved stone in the Lord's holy house! Bless your hands, knees and back!!
I see this stone staircase every week during my service in this temple and LOVE this story of how a small detail of blue stone is important enough to be held in reserve for over 50 years to be applied in this house of the Lord. THANK YOU for providing this detailed story!
@@fheontheroad Question for you The LDS Church are saying that they are the church that Jesus started why don't the Bible say that, because in ACTS 7:36-38 Tells us when Jesus started his Church and Isaiah 5:13 let's us know what happened to the church which is the 12 of Israel, so why does the Mormon Church contradicts the Bible
I love that story. My grandparents were sealed in the Mesa temple in 1939. They sold everything they had and drove from Georgia to get there with their four children to be sealed as a eternal family.
Love this story. Thank you!! My husband and I are the temple prep teachers in our ward and I am always excited for inspirational temple stories. Thank you!.
Enjoyed hearing this story. I live in Washington state, but my youngest daughter lives not too far from Saratoga Springs, so this will have to be a goal to go there some day when we are visiting her.
Oh my goodness 🙏🏼🤍 I love this story! It gave me goosebumps. Thank you dear Sister for sharing it with all of us. I just subscribed to this channel. I had never seen it before. These stories help build my testimony immensely 🕊️🐑🤍 Thank you so much!
I love temple stories. I have a good one from the time the Las Vegas temple was dedicated. It’s regarding two round etched glass pieces (about 5’ wide) which survived the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Have you heard it?
@FHEontheRoad I l💙ve the church Heavenly pricless stories that magnify the Restoration of Thee Ancient Church Heavenly miraculous miracle with our hearts & faith in Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ 💙✌️😇🙏✨️💙🧱
I thought the same thing when I first heard the story, but the Mesa Temple went through extensive renovation in 1974, and I'm assuming that is where the connection of the blue stone came from, and thats why the missionaries told us the stone had been saved for 50 years, not 100.
I’m a little confused. It seems there’s a detail left out…. Respectfully, if the Mesa temple was built in 1927, how could a man who helped with the stone construction still be alive ? He would have to be at least 120 yrs old, being maybe 20 yrs old in 1927 (maybe more, or a few less ) when the Mesa was being constructed. This story COULD be true, as I know the Lord does things like this; however, maybe it was the son of the man who worked on the Mesa temple? IDK… The numbers just don’t add up. If a true story is shared, then get all the facts so that it’s believable. If the old stone contractor really was 125 then say so. If not, then say the stone was left behind by him and somehow brought to light.
I thought the same thing when I first looked up the information on both temples but the Mesa Arizona Temple had an "extensive remodel" done in February 1974, and it sounds like this was the connection to the stone. That is why the missionaries told us that it was saved for 50 years, not 100.
That contractor in this story is my uncle Dan Nelson! He is now serving as a bishop in Lindon UT.
That’s amazing! What an amazing story! What a great obedient man! Thanks for sharing 🤍🙏🏼

I think the stone represents the water spoken of in Ezekiel 47. The water rises and heals everything it touches. Beautiful symbolism!
Yes! I had heard that too! So much amazing symbolism!!

@@Summitclym you should share it.
I haven't heard it! I would love to hear it! Will you email me at fhe.ontheroad@gmail.com ?
@@fheontheroad email sent. Thank you!
First thing I noticed when visiting the temple from out of state. I couldn’t get enough of the blue stone and windows!
Right?! It is beautiful! I love those windows too!
We have loads of bluestone in Belgium. We have a lot..
Thats awesome, I wonder if he checked there!
I do agree that our dear savior, the christ jesus is in the details.
Christ is in the crisis, too.
Isn't it amazing to find these connections! I love seeing the Saviors hand in every day life!
I have been to the Mesa Arizona Temple Many Many times. Where is the blue stone? I don't remember seening blue stone anywhere.
I believe it was before the total remodel.
I've never been. I don't know if was taken out at the remodel, in 1974, or put in at the remodel. He was just told to start looking there.
Mesa temple beautiful
So beautiful! There are some really awesome stories about that temple, I'm excited to learn more!

Could have used Ellensburg Blue. Unique to Ellensburg Washington.
Mesa Temple was built 98 years ago. Sure it was the same guy?
