WOW

I cut and pasted this from ldschurchnews.com

"Plans to build two new temples in Arizona, one in the Gila Valley and the other in Gilbert, were announced by President Thomas S. Monson. This will bring the total number of temples to 134 already in operation or in the planning and construction phases.
New temples in Gilbert and the Gila Valley in Arizona will make sacred ordinances more accessible to areas with high concentration of members, including area where President Spencer W. Kimball was reared. "It is my personal priority to make sure members of the Church have access to the blessings of the temple," said President Monson. "It is here where members learn of their divine origin and destiny; where they are strengthened spiritually as individuals and as families. Temples are sanctuaries from the storms of life." ...The two new temples are the first to be announced by President Monson since he became president of the Church on Feb. 3. "

Can you believe it? Having lived in both places I find this extremely exciting!! Wow.
