New Temples!

To those of you who might've missed the first few minutes of the Saturday morning General Conference session when Pres Monson announced 3 new temples. I am so excited for a temple in Meridian! And also to those who didn't miss it but wanted to know a little more information like I do, I guess we will all have to wait. Here is a local news article by Scott Evans

MERIDIAN – The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced a new Idaho temple Saturday morning as part of its 181st Annual General Conference. Church President Thomas S. Monson announced three temples, including one in Meridian. That would bring the total number of Idaho temples to five.
After the announcement, a spokesperson with the Meridian Mayor’s office said that Mayor Tammy de Weerd met with representatives from the church on Friday. There aren’t a lot of details on what transpired in that meeting other than the representatives notified the mayor of the decision.
The spokesperson said that the temple will be a welcome addition to the area that has a strong and caring community of people from several faiths.
At this point, the location of the new temple has not been announced. Also not released is the date for the groundbreaking.
The other temple locations announced are Fort Collins, Colorado and Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
