looks like a fire destroyed a stake center that was under construction

yuck, I hope there were no injuries

Doesn't sound like it.  I think the paper would have reported it.  No one should have been on site at that time and papers usually report injuries of firefighters, don't they?

Maybe Bro. Brigham was annoyed again like he was with the height of the St. George temple spire.

I read that it was intentionally set, I feel awful for the St. Georgians!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is upsetting, it looked like it was almost finished.

I watched the local news the other day, and the St. George temple is soon going to close down for some updating. So the members will lose that as well for a time. 

I lived in St. George for a short time and have family there, I wonder if this will affect them, this church burning down.

We had someone set fire to the Sacrament table and the clerks table in our chapel - didn't catch, but messed up the surface of each. They also sprayed something on the chalkboards in the Reliefs Society room, making it impossible to use.

There are now new rules in force about locking buildings.

Someone broke into our church onetime and spray painted “Satin Rules”. 

Upon reflection of my selection of bridesmaid dresses, I strongly disagree.
