Why am I so excited?

I don’t know about any of you. But I, on the other hand, am quite excited by the announcement of the three new temples that will be built in Abidjan, Ivory Coast; Port-au-Prince, Haiti; and Bangkok, Thailand. The announcement shows that God’s church is continuing to grow and that Christ’s Priesthood is without end and can reach the very far shores of distant lands.

Abidjan, Ivory Coast I am happy for my African brothers and sisters. The trials that they have faced in the past would have been too much to bear for someone like me.

Port-au-Prince, Haiti I’m happy for the revelation given to the prophet on June 1, 1978.

Bangkok, Thailand Also, I am grateful for the faith of the saints in distant lands. Their efforts and their prayers have been heard by God. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865625790/3-new-LDS-temples-to-be-built-in-Ivory-Coast-Haiti-and-Thailand-President-Monson-says.html?pg=1
