"It is my privilege this morning to announce three additional temples, for which sites are being acquired, and which in coming months and years will be built in the following locations:
Fort Collins, Colorado," President Thomas S. Monson.
At this point, I screamed, so we didn't hear the locations of the other two. Nathan calls it shouting for joy--but what I call it is not being able to contain my excitement. Tears quickly followed. When we decided to move here, one of my hesitations was the location of our temple--still close but too far away to go very often. Having a temple in our very city is almost too good to be true!
Nathan is excited about the second temple, as well, Meridian, Idaho, since he grew up in the Meridian South Stake.
Finally, after being reminded to thank Heavenly Father for having a temple here, Andrew prayed,
"Heavenly Father, we thank thee that we will have a temple here in Fort Collins, so we won't have to have the long, boring, two hour drive to Denver."
(If you want to see it live, click HERE, the announcement begins about 1 min 45 seconds).

Yes, I was with an investigator at the stake center, so no screaming allowed- but I have an audible "gasp" for you guys! (and then another one for the shock about Meridian). lol
ReplyDeleteWell, it's people like you guys taking that 2 hr drive to Denver that got you your temple, so well done!
Yes! I am thrilled for you, and my tears started flowing quickly too. I was thinking Meridian sounded familiar as well. Yeah!
