More than 25 years after the Church received legal recognition in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, President Thomas S. Monson announced during general conference that a temple is to be built in the capital city of Kinshasa. In a country with a Church membership of more than 23,000, news of the temple is an answer to prayer. "Even after the meeting at which the announcements were made, when asked about it, each member of the Area Presidency would just choke up and be unable to speak for several minutes," said Elder Dale G. Renlund of the Seventy and Africa Southeast Area president. "Our reaction is not unique; the same happens with virtually everyone with whom I have spoken who will be in the new temple districts. The announcement of the Durban South Africa Temple and the Kinshasa Democratic Republic of the Congo Temple is an answer to many, many prayers over years. I believe the Lord has revealed His direction and the Brethren have had the faith to press forward even though they know that doing so will be filled with some challenges."

While Penn’s Mormon community may have flown under the radar for the average student in past years, a new temple under construction and a recently formed student organization will give it an opportunity to make its presence known. Following the ground-breaking ceremony last month, the Latter-day Saints temple located on 1739 Vine St. has been reaching out to members of the Mormon community at Penn, who are currently active in the LDS Church meetinghouse on 39th and Chestnut streets. The new temple — the first to be built in Pennsylvania — is slated for completion by 2014. It will serve more than 31,000 LDS Church members from congregations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.
