You can imagine the speculation, I'm sure. Most, like me, tend to think this isn't the prophesied temple in Independence, but rather one that will likely be in Lees Summit, MO (a suburb of KC where our Stake center was just built- and where there's a significant plot of empty land) or possibly even on the other side of the stateline in the Overland Park or Lenexa area of Kansas. Notice the difference in the way it was announced. <BR/> Either way, we're extremely moved to know that a temple will be close by! <BR/> And Mary, don't feel badly. <BR/>Your Dad and brothers will probably never go to a RS or YW broadcast, either-- just because they are boys. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-66972328283109244352008-10-06T21:24:00.000-05:002008-10-06T21:24:00.000-05:00I was inspired by the primary choir.

Kudos to their parents. <BR/>In all my 24 years I've never been to a priesthood session. My dad used to take my brothers and then go out to dinner, but I never got to go. That's what I get for being a girl.*MARY*https://www.blogger.com/profile/09638213634701932906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-37301391837426732262008-10-06T17:50:00.000-05:002008-10-06T17:50:00.000-05:00What a post, what a testimony you have!

I personally was touched by the Primary Choir from Kaysville, Utah...they were like a mini MoTab.

I bet it will be a truly beautiful but small, cost-effective temple. Wonder how they worked out details with the Italian government, which I believe requires the right to enter and inspect buildings of this kind. <BR/><BR/>Could portend huge acceleration in missionary work in Italy, where we have a fabulous, highly educated population with so much to offer the rest of us. Not just talking about the food, but how I envy those who will be serving there. <BR/><BR/>Italy is a remarkably innovative, sophisticated, and inquisitive country. It's time for the Gospel to really surge there.Jeff Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776493593387402607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-78953298530595810082008-10-05T10:04:00.000-05:002008-10-05T10:04:00.000-05:00Amen to this post!Amen to this post!Clean Cuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08383123314458721660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-43850981667679774632008-10-05T09:45:00.000-05:002008-10-05T09:45:00.000-05:00Good post, thanks for sharing.

While critics want to argue this and that, I wish they would just listen to the words that are being spoken and the messages broadcast throughout the world during conference. Really listen and feel that spirit. How different the world would be if even just the men of this world could hear the Priesthood session. <BR/><BR/>I am curious as to your thoughts on the temple announcement, namely, the KC area and Rome temples.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608142194253040556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-41116651736023685602008-10-05T09:42:00.000-05:002008-10-05T09:42:00.000-05:00Conference weekend makes me happy, too.

I smile most the weekend. <BR/>It seems much more efficient for me to receive gospel instruction while watching it at home without worrying about classroom dynamics and navigating hallways--sort of like homeschool Sunday school! Also, Sunday school teachers generally don't understand that I often learn better when I'm doing something else simultaneously; the screen doesn't get hurt feelings if I fold clothes during a carefully-prepared speech. And no handouts!!!! Hurrah! (Seriously, I hate that awkward feeling of being presented some little notion that someone has gone out of their way to prepare when it's going in the circular file soon after I get home from church.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
