The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints continues to build new temples across the globe to meet the needs of an expanding worldwide membership.

Today the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced six new temples during the morning session of the faith’s 181st Semiannual General Conference.

President Thomas S. Monson said the Church will build temples in Paris, France; Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo; Durban, South Africa; Barranquilla, Colombia and Star Valley, Wyoming. The Church will also rebuild the historic Provo, Utah Tabernacle – which was heavily damaged by fire in December 2010 – and convert it into a temple.

This is such happy news for Utah Valley! The tabernacle is such a center-piece to Provo! With another Provo temple I am waiting to hear what this temple will be called?

To whoever wrote this article.... you say they are going to convert the Provo Tabernacle into a temple... don't you mean build a temple? Now the Temple in Manhattan was converted. The Provo Tabernacle was burnt to the ground with only the half the shell remaining. That is not converting a building into a Temple that is rebuilding it. If I am wrong can you please set me stright and explain why?
