Major temple and scripture news

Hello, all! Just posting today to say I am excited to share some important temple and scriptural news. First the scriptural news. A new triple combination is now available in Fijian. For the details, please see this article. That was good to hear about.

Then, when I went on the LDS Church temples website, I was elated to discover that a general contractor has been selected for the Arequipa Peru temple and that construction of that temple is anticipated to be commenced with a groundbreaking ceremony sometime in October 2016. This is great news!

How blessed we are to live in this era where so much is happening for the Church. Thanks for your readership and friendship.

Additional personal update

Hello, dear readers! I wanted to let you know the latest on us. I had my first night with the CPAP machine last night, and got some good rest. I still had a severe headache and nausea, so we took me to the urgent care clinic since I had to go in to get my testosterone injection anyways. While we were waiting for me to be seen, I got a return call from Dr. Weinstein's assistant. I was able to get an appointment to see her a week from today. I hope we can discuss a change in my medications that would help me to feel better. I then got three injections: one each for the nausea, headaches and testosterone. Needless to say, I'm more than a little sore. But the good news is that as I sit here typing, I am feeling better. Thanks to you all for your interest,, readership, and support.
