The Temple Patron Fund

Last week in General Conference President Monson announced 6 new temples in Provo, Utah; Star Valley, Wyoming, Durban, South Africa; Barranquilla, Colombia; Kinshasa, Congo and Paris, France.

I was super excited about the Provo Tabernacle being rebuilt as a temple.  How exciting to have a temple only 3 miles away from an existing temple.  Temples really are beginning to dot the earth.  I was also extremely excited about the Star Valley Wyoming temple.  I served a portion of my mission in Casper, Wyoming.  I have always dreamed of the day that Wyoming would get a temple.  This new temple will still be several hours away from Casper, so I still dream of the day that Casper gets its own temple.  But I still leapt for joy when President Monson mentioned Wyoming.

Another thing that made me super excited was the announcement of the Temple Patron Fund.  What an amazing program.  To think that we could donate to help others to have the blessing of the temple is so exciting.  My wife and I discussed it and decided we definitely want to contribute to that amazing fund.

In case you missed it, I grabbed this part of President Monson's talk and put it on youtube.  Here it is below:
