Temples

When my dad's dad was born in 1881 St. George was the only operating temple.
When my dad was born there were 7 operating temples.
When I was born there were were 13 temples.
When my oldest were born in 1996 there were 48 temples.
At the beginning of the year my middle child was born there were 68 temples, by the time she was born there were 102 temples dedicated.
When my youngest was born, there were 119 temples.

When this newest temple is dedicated there were will be 130 temples operating.
Temples will have increased tenfold just in my lifetime so far!

Wow! That is such a neat way to put it. I love that. You'll have to keep having kids so you can say how many temples there are when each is born.

Keep it up, Arlene, you're doing great!
