I heard some amazing news today that I’m UBER-CRAZY-EXCITED ABOUT and afraid to believe at the same time, because I haven’t heard it from any official sources—at the same time, though, I’ve heard it from two completely independent unofficial sources, so I have already begun rejoicing. THE MANAUS TEMPLE WAS ANNOUNCED!!!!! I was so excited I ran out into the house looking for someone to hug, and almost toppled poor Alan (the new guy who’ll take care of the volunteers and came here a few weeks early to get things ready for them). I then ran outside, where my buddy Amude was on guard duty, and when I told him the news he knew me well enough to rejoice completely, picking me up and carrying me around on a victory lap of the backyard as I hooted and hollered my lungs out. It was a glorious moment. Oh man—TEMPLE IN MANAUS!!!!!!!! I’ve been waiting for this day ever since I first arrived on my mission—they’ve had the land for that long, and have just been waiting to have enough faithful members to make it worthwhile. I’ve been crossing my fingers every General Conference since I got back, hoping they announce it—AND NOW THEY DID!!
TEMPLE IN MANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOHHHHHHOOOOO! I'm glad to hear it, and do keep me posted on when it's official. I could tell when you first mentioned it how excited you were, and that this has been a dream you've long waited to be fulfilled. I'm thrilled it's finally happening for the people you love so much out there in Manaus.
