Final predictions for temple announcements- Lehi, Managua, NW Arkansas. It is possible we may see a Temple in Benin City or somewhere in Nigeria announced. My dark horse pick is Kiribati.
Do the temples usually get announced in the first Saturday session?
Hmmm.. No temples for Kenya so far.
Or is it the later session?
New temples usually get announced in the first general session of conference where President Monson speaks. He used to open the Saturday morning session with a short "state of the Church" address, and would commonly announce temples then. However, he has needed to slow down recently, and I suspect that he will follow the pattern of last October's conference and only speak in the Priesthood and Sunday morning sessions. If that is the case, I anticipate him announcing any temples tomorrow at the start of his talk concluding the Sunday morning session.
Thanks. I need to go to the temple more this month and do more family history.
Nicaragua needs a temple.
My Concepcion Temple is getting closer to finishing...
