We had Stake Conference today and a visiting authority. He had no information about the temple. Our stake president made a few points, however, which I will list from memory:
1)There has been no opposition from the city planning department. It is moving along. It is a process that takes a long time.
2) The estimated time is 3 years.
3) The size will be larger than some of the smallest temples, but he did not announce the size. For a reference point, the Denver temple is 27,000 square feet and the small temples are 11,000 square feet.
4) The planning commission will soon publicize the location.
5) It is likely that a website will be developed to track the progress of the temple. Stay tuned for the link.
But in the meantime, I did find this link about the Fort Collins Temple on lds.org this morning.
6) He encouraged us to pray for the temple. Especially to encourage our children to pray for the process to continue to move along.
The visiting authority was from St. Paul, Minnesota and he said that having the temple come to their area (2000) has been a transformative experience. I can't wait to have it so close!

Can we come to the open house?! Nancy
ReplyDeleteMy kids were just asking tonight when they could go to another temple open house. I told them we could go to Ft. Collins, but it would be a few years away. If it was 3 years, Parker and Caleb could go to the dedication.
ReplyDeleteSoooo exciting! Sounds like you got more info than Meridian got at their latest Stake Conf.
