A TEMPLE!!

(I cut and pasted this from desertnews.com) SALT LAKE CITY — The announcement of three new LDS Church temples in North America — in Colorado, Idaho and Canada — highlighted President Thomas S. Monson's opening address in the Saturday morning session of the church's 181st annual general conference. The three — announced for Fort Collins, Colo.; Meridian, Idaho; and Winnipeg, Canada — means that in addition to the 134 temples operating worldwide, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints now counts another 26 temples as announced or under construction. "This will certainly be a blessing for the members in those areas," President Monson said. Located 11 miles west of Boise, Meridian is Idaho's third-largest city. With a presence in the state since 1855, the LDS Church has more than 410,000 members in Idaho. The new Meridian temple will be Idaho's fifth, with Mormon temples already in Boise, Idaho Falls, Rexburg and Twin Falls. We are soooo excited about this. We were watching conference at home and Eric jokingly said "Meridian, Idaho" right before the Prophet said it. Then the Prophet said it and we looked at each other, cheered and literally high fived each other. Since we were watching from home it was ok. :) We can't wait to find out where the site will be and when the ground breaking is. We live in Meridian so it won't be far!!
