Why so many temples?

Bro Hershall Pederson - former member of the Mt Timp Temple Presidency.  Feb 8, 2009

Pres. Hinckley said that we are not building small temples for redeeming the dead, but for perfecting the saints.

In D&C 97:12-16 it says why the Lord wanted temples to be built.  It never mentions work for the dead.

Pray before you attend -- memorize this scripture  2Ne 32:9
