Hello again, everyone! As I had projected, President Nelson just concluded General Conference by announcing 20 new temples. The temples will be built in the following locations:
Of the newest 20 temples, I had the following temples down to the exact correct location:
I had the correct general area but the wrong specific location for the following temples:
I was not anticipating the following temples:
In view of this announcement, there are now 370 temples in any phase. Of those 370, President Nelson has announced 50.8% of them. I am grateful that our prophet continues to announce new temples, and that he continues to encourage the Temple Department and Special Projects Division to keep the queue moving steadily.
For my part, I continue to monitor any and all Church News, Newsroom, and Church of Jesus Christ Temples updates and will be sure to pass word of those along to you all as they cross my radar. In the meantime, that does it for now. All comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated on any post at any time, as long as the offered feedback is made per the established guidelines.
I hope any of you who would like to share anything will take your opportunity to “sound off” in the comments below.

Until my next post, I wish you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.
Was it 17 temples bringing the total to 367. (371 if we count the three Missouri temples in Independence, Far West, and AdamOndiAhamen and Kirkland) The 185 that Pesident Nelson announced are still over half of all 367 temples in just in just 6.50 years out of the total 195.50 years since the restoration.

DeleteNow that I read this again, I think James had a prepared post with his prediction and did not edit it before he submitted it.
Delete1 mean 194.5 years since April 6, 1830. The 6.5 years show that The Lord is truly hastening the work.
DeleteNot surprised at a Wisconsin temple, but I would have predicted Madison instead of Milwaukee, taking advantage of a more central location within the Badger State. Queen Creek was a "no brainer", given that it's a "bedroom community" approaching 100K in population, SE of Mesa, east of Gilbert. Are many LDS families moving in? Well, my niece, a schoolteacher, taught a few years ago when she moved from CA to AZ, and she took a temporary job teaching Kindergarten. She said that ALL the children were LDS!
ReplyDeleteTo recap: non-surprises: Queen Creek, AZ; Milwaukee, WI; El Paso, TX; Summit, NJ: Price, UT; Medellin; Columbia, Dublin, Eire; Milano, Italia; "and the rest" (no, the Prophet didn't announce a temple on Gilligan's Island, but if the families of Russel Johnson and Dawn Wells consent to their temple work...).
Surprises: Huntsville, AL. Would have guessed "Redneck Riviera" like Mobile, AL, Pascagoula, MS, or Pensacola, FL. Cour D'Alene, ID. Given proximity to Spokane, don't see why, save Spokane temple getting crowded. Would have guessed Caldwell/Nampa (probably named Treasure Valley Idaho), Blackfoot, or Rigby for another Idaho temple.
Surprise NON-Announcements: West Valley City, Utah; Cottonwood/Holladay, Utah; and especially Spanish Fork, Utah. Also no other Philippines temple?
Of course, the "Standard Disclaimer" is that the Lord didn't deign to consult with yours truly before giving the Prophet the temple list, and I suspect He won't next April, and so on. I can live with that; the temples will go where those Whose House it is wants them, when, and how constructed.

Everyone in Mapleton and Spanish Fork can get to the Payson temple in < 20 minutes or so. And the Payson temple is big and not full most of the time. I'm guessing it may still be a while before a new temple (but happy to be proved wrong next time!)
DeleteJames is in the hospital so that appears why his post came out wrong and premature before he could edit it.
