What a Temple means to me.

Sometimes there are words you want to hear and don't expect to, but when you do; its a big high five and attta boy.... Well Winnipeg heard those words this weekend at General Conference.  We are getting a Temple in Winnipeg, Manitoba.  Although I wasn't at that conference, nor was I watching it on the computer, minutes after it was announced my dear friend and VTing companion since I moved to the Dalhousie Ward phoned me.  I also had a chance to speak to several people at conference on Sunday, who were at conference on Saturday morning.  The air was charged, and a couple hoots and hollars were let out.  So exciting.
Of course the big question remains, where will it be built, and what will the size be.  For me the question is: how will those who are not of our faith see this beautiful edifice to the one Most Holy?  My hope is that they want to know more, know why we value our church and what the Temple means to use.  And then of course missionary work; it really needs to be done.  Our Heavenly Father has done his  part now its time to step up to the plate and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
