EOD posted the list in another thread, but I think it really needs to stand alone in its own thread, so, stealing his list:
Fifteen new temples! Wheeeeee!!
Uturoa, French Polynesia
Chihuahua, Mexico
Florianópolis, Brazil
Rosario, Argentina
Edinburgh, Scotland
Brisbane Australia South Area
Victoria, British Columbia
Yuma, Arizona
Houston Texas South Area
Des Moines, Iowa
Cincinnati, Ohio
Honolulu, Hawaii
West Jordan, Utah
Lehi, Utah
Maracaibo, Venezuela
My thoughts:
West Jordan? You know what part of the SL Valley is not peppered with temples? The East Bench area, you know, the expensive and better educated side of town. There is 1 temple in Draper, and that's it.
Victoria, BC? Nightingale will be thrilled, not. Victoria - a bunch of old white people playing lawn bowling whenever it stops raining.
Des Moines? Too far of a hike to Omaha apparently.
French Polynesia? Probably going to be a micro-mini-temple.
From the SLTrib column:
Nelson has now announced 168, or 48%, of the church’s worldwide tally of 350 planned or existing temples — by far the most of any of the faith’s prophet-presidents.
Me: I bet if he survives until next conference, he is going for the gold medal, announcing a clear majority of all the temples in Mormondom.
