This makes me so emotional. The temple has blessed me infinitely by sealing me to my husband and family, and I absolutely cannot wait for the people near these new temples to have those same blessings at an easier reach.

When so many temples are announced you need to provide a map for folks to follow along. Another amazing #GeneralConference for the records. #PresOaks & #ElderRendlund‘s talks we’re probably my favorites. pic.twitter.com/6zUAU04fOp
