So about a month ago Neil came home from basketball late at night and told me that the First Presidency was looking at land next to our church. I didn't believe him at first. Neil has ALWAYS joked about them building a temple down here. ( I swear the guy has a 6th sense sometimes) I thought he was just playing with me again. Anyway, come to find out his story was actually true. The First Presidency was down here. Neil and I couldn't stop thinking or talking about it. But even then I didn't dare believe that we would get it that close to our house. I mean how would it be to have a temple in our neighborhood, just 2 streets away, within WALKING distance from our house? I shook just thinking about it. Not to mention that I was sure that wasn't the only plot of land they were looking at and thought it would most likely end up in Elk Ridge up on the mountain side. But then......Today President Monson announced that they are building a temple in Payson, RIGHT NEXT TO MY CHURCH!!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! I am SO incredibly excited I can't even type this!! Wahoo! P.S. We tried to convince you all to come move down here. :)
See there's my church! :)Future site of the Payson Temple
