So rumors have been swirlin' the last few months about men in "dark suits" being seen in Payson in the field next to our church. Some have sworn they actually saw the first presidency of the church. We've all been hoping it meant we were getting a temple but thought we'd have to wait until April conference to find out if it could possibly be true. But two weeks ago on Monday, January 25, President Monson announced that there will be a temple built in Payson. It's going to be built in the field directly North of our church building so only a block from our house! I am so excited for my kids to be this close to a temple and to have the opportunity to watch it being built. What an awesome experience. Jensen is already planning on walking to the temple when she gets married. Now the rumors are that they are hoping to have it finished in 18 months to 2 years. Oh I hope these rumors are also true!
