"Let every heart prepare him Room" - Christmas Lights Begin

As missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we welcome the opportunity to prepare our hearts for the season of His birth, and to invite all to find room in their lives and hearts for the Savior.  
The missionaries from the Visitors' Center had a joyful experience preparing for the Christmas season as they helped with the preparation of this year's Christmas Lights that will be displayed on  the Mesa Temple Grounds.    
Becky Jackson with the love and support of her husband and family lead the hundreds of volunteers who come to help.
