A Blessed Nation

We are so thrilled and excited about the new temple in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. It is beautiful! 
We read that more than 100,000 people streamed through in the first two weeks of the open house, which was dedicated on March 17th.  The next closest temple had been in Guatemala, an 8 hour bus trip away. Members have said that having a temple in their country has been a long-awaited dream, and will be an enormous blessing.  Surely the membership of the church in Honduras will increase dramatically because of it.  It was reported that missionaries received more than 5000 referrals in the first two weeks.  What perfect timing!  My son is going to a blessed nation.
