What great news this is this morning!Philadelphia???? Imagine how the founding fathers are feeling about that!

Kansas City??? What a blessing for those great Saints

Surely the Argentinians are ecstatic

A new Temple will be a huge blessing or the Saints in the Calgary, Canada area

And Rome???? What a great, great thing. I am positive not all will be ecstatic over a Temple in Rome, but this is the will of God and will be a huge blessing for alot of Saints from not a few countries...

God Bless America and may God continue to bless all who love HIM....

I find more interesting the announcement that a temple will be built in the greater Kansas City area. While we all know that it isn't THAT temple, it is still good to see the church come back to Jackson County in a more significant way than ever before.

The Lord do keeps His promises! Pres Hinckley told the members in Rome a couple of years ago that if they will establish a Stake, a Temple will follow. It is happening. Isn't it GREAT!!!! Thanks all you missionaries and mission presidents that served here.

The announcement of the temple in Rome brought an audible gasp and smiles to more than 20,000 church members assembled in the Conference Center.

Comment: Rome nothing.

The gasp was for the temple in "Greater Kansas City"


�The greater Kansas City area.� The announcement is worded in such a way so as either not admit publicly yet that the First Presidency want to build a temple in the Independence Missouri properties . . or to not admit yet that it is not building a temple on the Independence Missouri properties but in some other Kansas City suburb not Independence Missouri.

As a former missionary in Argentina, I am ecstatic to see another temple to serve the faithful Saints in that beautiful country.

Like other saints in the Philadelphia area, I have prayed for a temple in Philadelphia. But I also asked the Lord that if He had to choose between a temple in Phila or one in Italy, then please choose Italy first. Having served my mission in the Italy Catania mission and having Italian parents and ancestors, I desired that my Italian LDS sisters and brothers should know the blessing of a nearby temple. When both temples were announced today, I shed tears of happiness and gratitude.

No. Utah sees a major earthquake every 350 years. Last one? 350 years ago.
