President Hinckley Announces San Antonio Temple
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS -- At a regional fireside this evening, June 24th,
President Gordon B. Hinckley announced that he had spent the day
looking for land for a temple in the San Antonio, Texas area. "We've
come here to see about a temple." He said the Church didn't own land
for it yet, but that he was "looking around today for a place to put
it." He spoke about preparing and being worthy to attend the temple,
"If we build a temple here, as I think we will do." He challenged
members to be prepared and worthy to enter the temple, and discussed
those requirements.
Elder David B. Haight spoke about the power and influence of the
gospel in our lives. President Rex D. Pinegar, president of the North
America Southwest Area conducted the fireside and spoke about how the
temple allows families to remain together, and how we can take the
spirit of the temple and carry it into our homes.
Outside of San Antonio, other outlying stakes and a mission district
were invited to attend the fireside by way of satellite broadcast.
Those units invited to participate are among those whose leaders
regularly meet in San Antonio to receive training.
