November 1997, a new day dawns; the Vernal Temple is dedicated by President Gordon B. Hinckley fulfilling prophetically spoken words as President Joseph F Smith at the Uintah Stake Tabernacle dedication. August 1907, said he, "Would not be surprised if a temple was built here someday."
The Uintah Stake Tabernacle was built over a 7 and 1/2 year period of time costing $37,000 and thousand's of donated manhours by the Ashely Valley pioneer residents.
