A Temple in Italy!!

For those who don't know, I served my mission in Italy.  You can imagine my excitement when I heard President Monson say that a temple was planned for Rome Italy.  He didn't say when it would be finished or even started but it will be such a great blessing for the Italians.   There is a prophecy that Italy will blossom as a rose and I think having a temple there will go a long way towards doing that.  A beautiful temple will make people much more aware of who we really are, instead of thinking we are the Amish, and will give the members there a lot of strength.  I am so excited.
