A temple in Rome

When I went on my mission more than 10 years ago, wow has it been that long? It must be as my kids are getting baptized this next week-end.

Anyways back on topic.

So I was watching what I could of Conference last night as the internet was being stupid. I was able to watch President Monson's talk yesterday morning when he talked about dedicating the temples and then announced 5 new ones.

Calgary Canada
Kansas City Area
Philadelphia
and are you ready for it
Rome Italy.

The smile on his face was huge as he waited for that bit of news to sink in, and the reaction of the members. Can we say shock. How many of us ever thought that there would ever be a temple in Italy let alone Rome.

If everything goes according to plan and on schedule when I take my Italian III students to Italy I will be able to sneak in a session. I can't think of anything better.

Something Missing Today

As we went about our day today I had this feeling like something was missing, something was off, and it was. I look forward to General Conference, all year. I love to be able to listen to the Prophet's voice and to be spiritually fed, and because of the move we were unable to watch or rather listen to Conference today, and won't be able to watch tomorrow either, as our cable won't be turned on till the 9th. I was finally able to get it online about 5 minutes ago. So now I am going to listen sit here and listen to Conference and work on my lesson plans for this next week and the week after.

President Monson is talking so I am going to stop writing and listen to his words. I love to hear his voice. There is nothing like hearing the words of the Modern Prophet.
