I never thought this day would come, and I still can’t believe it, but Philadelphia is getting a temple! It was announced this morning by President Monson in the 1st session of Conference. The ward members are definately buzzing with the news and the giddiness is contagious! I’m assuming that it has somewhat to do with the sudden growth of the church especially in inner city Philly and to a smaller degree out here in the suburbs. What a treat it will be to have one so close (it will be in Valley Forge from what I understand). We Pennsylvanians aren’t the only ones welcoming a new temple however. It was also announced that temples would be constructed in the Kansas City area; Calgary, Alberta; Cordoba, Argentina and Rome, Italy. This will bring the total to 145 temples worldwide.
