Only A Stone Cutter

This is a true story told by Elder Uchtdorf during the October 2008 General Conference.

John Rowe Moyle was one of the stonemasons who worked on the Salt Lake Temple. Every Monday morning he walked twenty miles from his home to the temple site. He worked on the temple all week, and then on Friday he walked twenty miles home to take care of his farm. Brother Moyle was injured in an accident and his leg had to be removed, but he made himself a wooden leg. He practiced walking on the leg until he could endure the pain it caused. Then he walked on his wooden leg to Salt Lake City to continue working on the temple. He carved the words Holiness to the Lord on the east side of the temple.
