New temples
In the opening session of the October general conference, President Thomas S. Monson announced plans for six new temples, including a second one for Provo (in the now-to-be-rebuilt Provo Tabernacle, which was destroyed last December by fire). Provo will become the second city in the world to have two temples. The other is South Jordan, which has both the Jordan River Temple and the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.
The other new temples, in addition to Provo, will be built in Paris, France; Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo; Durban, South Africa; Barranquilla, Colombia; and Star Valley, Wyoming.
Temple prophecy
The new temple announced for Star Valley fulfills a 19th century prophecy mentioned in an 1894 issue of The Deseret Weekly: "A fine tract of bench land on the eastern portion of Afton will afford a beautiful site for a Temple hereafter to be built, as per prophecy of Elder Moses Thatcher."
