McAllen Texas Temple!
Last night President Nelson announced that a Temple would be built in McAllen, Texas. Having lived in the Rio Grande Valley for five years, my heart is filled with joy. I have no doubt that there is a flood of tears of joy in South Texas.
Many faithful Latter-day Saints are what is referred to as "valley locked", meaning because of their immigration status they are stuck in "the valley" between the Mexican borders and the check point about 100 miles to the north of the border. Because there are no operating temples in the valley, many faithful individuals and families have been waiting for years to make covenants in the temple and be sealed with their families. Many have passed through the veil still waiting.
The years of sacrifice and hope filled prayers are not in vain. Even for those who are able to make the 4 1/2 hour drive to the Temple in San Antonio, this is still a huge blessing. It shows that our Heavenly Father does listen to prayer, and the Temple will stand as a monument to the faithful sacrifice of these saints.
