Miracles!
Today, our Prophet Thomas S. Monsen announced that they will be building a temple in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It brought tears to my eyes for sometime. Just recently moving from Pennsylvania where we lived in Philadelphia for 4 years and Allentown for 1 year, we saw the faithfulness of the saints, and the rapid growth in the Logan ward in Philly. I remember so many members bearing their testimonies about how much faith they had that there would be a temple in Pennsylvania soon, and to think that it's going to be so close to where they all live. Owen told me that the church was looking at property in King of Prussia which is maybe 20 min out of Philly and 40 min out of Allentown. I'm not sure how accurate the location is though. It is extra special to us though because Owen and I both served our missions in the Pennsylvania Harrisburg mission, so we are so excited for all of the members in that mission too! The dedication will definitely be something that we will want to attend!

tears and more tears of joy. I don't know if I'll be around to enjoy it, but I'll be here to witness the building of it and that is incredible in and of itself. I am so happy right now!
I know the feeling- we are so delighted for the temple in Kansas City! What joy a temple brings to the people! How about Rome Italy as well, wowsers!
I was so excited, too, about PA! How wonderful for the saints in that area. I can't wait to see it!
I just posted about this on my blog and then started searching for another Philly friend who posted as well - and you win! I'm so excited too - maybe we'll see each other at the dedication! :)
The rumor tonight at the priesthood session was that the location is Broad St. and Spring Garden?? It is really exciting!
I never thought this day would come. I am so excited and all I can think about is the Sister Bastiens, Cooke's and Naomi's of Philly- how blessed and deserved they are!!! I just got an email from A. Nielson that the temple will be built on Broad Street near main campus Temple University - ha, temple near Temple! Let's meet for the dedication...you in!
This is the first that I've heard this! How great. I didn't really think it would ever happen...and I am serious.
We had the Lee's over and their twins! It was fun. Betsy is very nice and has invited me over twice to have playdates.
YAY! It was touching to hear that great news!
I love the lace and hair!!
So cool huh! We want to go see it when it opens too! We will probably be moving the beginning of January so let's get together before then.
