So technically they could put another meeting house on it. They could make it into a ballfield for the area. They could do a number of things with it.”. Up until the late 2000 s, the only temples in the vicinity of Southeast Idaho were in Idaho Falls; Logan, Utah; and Ogden, Utah. Then, a temple in Rexburg opened in December 2007.

... a personal care package suited to each one of us.". Heavenly Father's commandments are key components of the care package, he said. Around his 14 th birthday, Brother Brough said, he noticed a change in his parents' behavior. "Considering what I observed, I asked, 'Are we going on a mission?' The shock on my mother's face confirmed my suspicion." Later in a family council, he and his siblings learned that their parents had been called to preside over a mission.
