The new home-centered, church supported curriculum has the potential to unleash the power of families. I could be a pessimist and argue that unleashing my family could be a disaster or I can be an optimist and look forward to the power within my family waiting to be unleashed.
Take a prayerful look at how you spend your time and invest in your future and your family. If you have reasonable access to a temple make an appointment with the Lord to go regularly – and keep that appointment.
12 new temples in: Medoza Argentina, Salvador Brazil, Yuba City California, Phnom Pehn Cambodia, Cape Verde, Guam, Puebla Mexico, Aukland New Zealand, Lagos Nigeria, Phillipines, San Juan Puerto Rico, Washington County Utah (that’s a growing area – I wonder where it will be located). This marks 2 temples announced this year in each of Utah, Phillipines, and Argentina.
The new home-centered, Church-supported integrated curriculum has the potential to unleash the power of families, as each family follows through conscientiously and carefully to transform their home into a sanctuary of faith. I promise that as you diligently work to remodel your home into a center of gospel learning, over time your Sabbath days will truly be a delight. Your children will be excited to learn and to live the Savior’s teachings, and the influence of the adversary in your life and in your home will decrease. Changes in your family will be dramatic and sustaining.
So far we have Laura distancing herself from the church. I have been surprised to hear her reference the church as if she isn’t part of it.
My dear brothers and sisters, the assaults of the adversary are increasing exponentially, in intensity and in variety. Our need to be in the temple on a regular basis has never been greater. I plead with you to take a prayerful look at how you spend your time. Invest time in your future and in that of your family. If you have reasonable access to a temple, I urge you to find a way to make an appointment regularly with the Lord—to be in His holy house—then keep that appointment with exactness and joy. I promise you that the Lord will bring the miracles He knows you need as you make sacrifices to serve and worship in His temples.
I hope to have the miracle of last rediscovering her faith and coming to know Christ truly.
Currently we have 159 dedicated temples. The proper care and maintenance of those temples is very important to us. With the passage of time, temples are inevitably in need of refreshing and renewal. To that end, plans are now being made to renovate and update the Salt Lake Temple and other pioneer-generation temples. Details on these projects will be shared as they are developed.
Today we are pleased to announce plans to construct 12 more temples. Those temples will be built in the following locations: Mendoza, Argentina; Salvador, Brazil; Yuba City, California; Phnom Penh, Cambodia; Praia, Cape Verde; Yigo, Guam; Puebla, Mexico; Auckland, New Zealand; Lagos, Nigeria; Davao, Philippines; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Washington County, Utah.
We may learn some interesting things based on how the pioneer era temples are renovated.
I bless you with increased faith in Him and in His holy work, with faith and patience to endure your personal challenges in life. I bless you to become exemplary Latter-day Saints. I so bless you and bear my testimony that God lives! Jesus is the Christ! This is His Church. We are His people, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen
