I can absolutely 100% put the rumours to rest…there indeed has been a temple built in Langley :)

I just have to correct you, Sally, as to how it became known that President Hinckley and President Monson were at the Langley Chapel. We were there in the morning to set up for a wedding reception the following evening when this group made their way into our building. There was no bishopric meeting going on and no janitor only about 10 of us setting up for this reception. Yes the sight is on 82nd ave after church on June 4 the Stake President took the ward to look at the sight.

It’s Official! As announced from the Surrey 1st. Ward, Surrey BC Stake sacrament meeting yesterday, Sun., June 4, 2006, the First Presidency has announced a temple to be built close to the Langley meeting house. It will be a medium-sized temple, bigger than the mini-temple in Edmonton, AB. The zoning permits are currently in place and will be displayed on property purchased by the Church. This is also officially confirmed by members of the Abbotsford 1st. Ward who were also informed during their sacrament meeting. Yeehah! More specific details will be forthcoming.

Sincerely,
Truly Grateful RD:-)

As regards the Temple in Langley, a relative of mine just told me that a friend of hers told her that the “Mormons” just purchased her families property on 200 st and 82nd ave opposite the Langley Chapel. This again is second hand info but it is deemed to be fairly accurate. But whatever we are all pumped about having a Temple in the Fraser Valley.

Six stakes doesn’t seem to be enough to keep a mini temple running smoothly in Alberta.

Seems like a great idea to me.

Someone just told me that when the new stake centre was built in Abbotsford (following the fire that destroyed the previous one during renovations), that land adjacent to it was purchased for a temple.

Someone told us today that his grandson’s wife told him that her dad told her that President Hinckley told him they were looking for land for a temple. Reportedly, they found some in Langley near the TransCanada Highway. Traditionally, smaller temples are by a stake centre, and there is no stake centre in Langley. That being said, I’m not sure seven stakes would be enough for a traditionally-sized temple.

I just received word that when Presidents Hinckley and Monson were in the GFVRD, they held a priesthood leadership meting and those in attendance were told not to speculate on a temple coming to Vancouver.

In Ward Council today, our Bishop stated that he had met with our Stake President earlier in the morning. He confirmed that Presidents Hinckley and Monson had indeed been here looking at land and the buildings in the Abbotsford and Langley area.

He (Bp) also stated that the SP would only say that and that he could not go into any more specifics of the whys and wherefores. He also said to not look for announcements at out Stake Conference on the 29th or at General Conference but that “something” may be announced at our Regional Conference which I believe is in November.

So there is the latest on the scuttle butt.
