Two Major Temple Developments To Report

Hello, everyone! I found out a couple of days ago that the name  of the street on which the Boston Massachusetts Temple sits has been changed to Hinckley Way, no doubt to honor the legacy of the prophet who built the temple there. As one who grew up witnessing first-hand the temple-building plan he put into place, I can say without fear of contradiction that this is an honor long overdue, and I am glad to see it happen.

Additionally, I failed to mention that the open house for the Meridian Idaho Temple is now underway, Elder Quentin L. Cook, who, as I may have mentioned, has some kind of role on the Church's Temple and Family History Council, was on hand to conduct VIP and media tours in the days prior to the temple opening to the public, and the first day of those public tours was yesterday. Those tours, which will not run on Sundays, will continue until a week before the cultural celebration (Saturday November 11).

Aside from these developments, there is no additional temple-related news to report at this time. Any comments are welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish each of you all the best and pray the Lord's blessings upon you all.
