The inside of New Zealand's only Mormon temple has been shrouded in secrecy. No one from outside the church has been inside for 64 years.
However, ahead of its rededication after extensive renovations for the past four years, journalist Leah Tebbutt took the opportunity to go inside.
Driving past the temple that sits proudly atop of a hill just outside of Hamilton, I imagine what waited inside was one large yet grand room where those of the Latter-Day Saints faith would go to pray.
"What I remember of them, because many of them were my first cousins and two of my brothers served as labour missionaries, they just seemed to be a happy people. It wasn't a sacrifice in their minds, it was a labour of love."
