My Joy Is Full...
This morning while watching the session of General Conference President Thomas S. Monson announced 5 new temples to be built. One of those, and the last one he announcent, was the Rome Italy Temple. I was right in the middle of bite of bean dip and chips. Immediatly I felt as though my heart had burst, I gasped, and started to bawl like a little baby. Oh how I love those Italian and Maltese people! How I have prayed for this day for them! A temple of God will finally be close enough for them to enjoy those blessings on a very regular basis. I remember being a missionary thinking that this day wouldn't come until I was old and gray. It is a testimony of literal miracles. The work is progressing and these wonderful saints will have a temple. Todd and I are going to try to make it for the dedication. It will be a wonderful event to bring our children to. Our hearts and our love will forever be tied to Italy. AUGURI!

That will be so cool if you and Todd are able to go to the dedication of the Rome temple since it's in a place that means so much to you. It sounded like the audience at the Conference Center was especially surprised at the announcement of that one. It's so awesome!
I was really happy about the Philadelphia announcement because that's where I went to college and lived for four years. Hooray for temples! :)
See you at the dedication! I am so thrilled for the Italians. I wish I could have been with them to hear the announcement! It must have been awesome.
I thought of you today when the temple was announced. Oh happy day! Hurrah for Israel!
First I gasped, then I immediately thought of you today when that was announced :) Love ya
Yay!!!! The lord truly does hear our prayers :).
I know I'm a little late on this, but I actually thought of you guys too when I heard that announcement. And since Italy is pretty much the number one place I want to see and Jason and I would LOVE to serve a mission there, that makes it even better! So great!
