Another Update Provided on Oklahoma City Oklahoma Temple Renovation Process

Hello again, everyone! While I have no desire to overshadow the news about the address from President Nelson and the press conference on Tuesday, I did want to pass along an update of which I have become aware relating to the progress on the renovation of the Oklahoma City Oklahoma Temple. That update is that structural framing is being put up for the new tower. It is good to see these day-to-day milestones, and if President Nelson does only half as much for temples as President Monson has (we went from having 124 temples in operation at the beginning of 2008 to 182 in various constructional phases as of April 2017), it will be awesome to see the progress that occurs. That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.

President Nelson Announces Press Conference/Message to Church Members

Hello again, everyone! I am posting with some interesting news. In this article, President Nelson announced he will be giving a special message over the internet and all Church-owned radio and television stations at 9:00 AM MST this Tuesday, followed by a press conference at 10:00 AM. I may be wrong in saying this (please let me know if I am), but I cannot recall a time in Church history where a senior apostle gave a special one-hour message to the entire Church like this one hour prior to a press conference in which he will likely take questions from the media and introduce his new counselors in the First Presidency. This was amazing to hear about. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available. That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.
