12 New Temples!

That's awesome.

I wonder what volume of membership population some of these areas have.

I get the feeling that this is more a part of President Nelson's ministering initiative than membership volume.  

The Church can afford to build and Pres. Nelson wants all members to have easy access.

I need some kids to be on my lawn so I can yell at them to get off of it.

Count me as crotchety too.  The temple ordinances are the most sacred thing on the entire planet.  Not something to hoot and holler about.

I agree.

So does the renovation of the Pioneer temples mean no more live actors at all.  (Don't Salt Lake and Manti still use them?)

It could. The Idaho Falls temple used live actors until a couple of years ago when it was renovated.

That's an interesting point.  I keep meaning to go to a live session just to see it. 

The Yuba City, CA one is a head scratcher for me.  The Sacramento Temple must be less than an hour away.  I never would have imagined there were enough Saints up there to warrant it.

I am more than glad to see so many temples being built in countries outside the U.S.A. Even if the member population is not really great in some of those areas, they could still be good conversion helps when family sealings and work for ancestors are taught a beautiful facility is close or fairly close by.

As for me and my house, we will both sing and shout with the armies of heaven. :D

Not the same thing and you know it. ;)

The film is fine but I'd hate to see the live action tradition done away with.

It’s a cool tradition. I bet it’s really hard with patrons that aren’t English speaking though.

Manti will probably keep the live session, even if SLC doesn't after the renovation...

Maybe. I don't know if Mesa, AZ counts as "pioneer" or not. It was opened in 1927. It had the movies and is being redone. It will take 2 years. They are also doing extensive changes to the ground and the visitor's center.

Which reminds me of an experience I had across the street. One day I was at the park when a couple were walking down the sidewalk. They may have been homeless, on drugs, have mental illness problems. I'm not really sure, just know there are many in the area with these struggles.

Suddenly the woman stops and exclaims, "oh no! The temple burned down!" She seemed quite upset.

I calmed her down by telling her the temple had not burned down. What she was looking at was the stage for the pageant. Then I helped her see that the visitor's center was still there to the side of the stage and then the temple in back.I showed her where the Christus statue was in the VC and that at night you could usually see it.

I don't know what she is going to think if she comes along again and sees the visitor's center has been torn down.

This millennial thought it was incredibly white-trash.

No. We had converted to video presentation long before I was ever aware. The renovation did not change that. Idaho Falls is still one of the few that moves through 5 rooms in the endowment.

I think that Pres. Nelson's reaction probably spurred the celebrations on.  And i'm ok with that.  Why not shout for joy when temples are announced.  

Shouting for joy is praising God.  Hurrah for Israel, Hosannah to God and the Lamb!

Whoops and hollering and other animal sounds are tasteless in Church.

So moving through the five rooms but film, not live actors?  That must be interesting.

Mendoza, Argentina

Salvador, Brazil

Yuba City, California

Round Penh, Cambodia

Quia, Cape Verde

Yigo, Guam

Puebla, Mexico

Auckland, New Zealand

Lagos, Nigeria

Devao, Philipinnes

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Washington County, Utah

 

But how many have they built that have been announced over the last 5 years or so?  That’s the stat I’d love to see!

I do love to hear them announced, but then I hear many don’t even get built or started.

Any one know the stats? (Thanks if you do!)
