The journey to build the Lima Peru Temple was not without sacrifice. Members of the church rallied together, contributing personal possessions, from furniture to gold wedding bands, to fund the temple's construction. This remarkable display of faith and commitment was evident during the open house, where over 24,000 people visited, leading to an extension of the event due to overwhelming interest. The dedication sessions were filled with joy and gratitude, a testament to the community's unwavering spirit.
