"I don't get the excitement behind it"

Writing for Media. Naturally we discussed conference..... Only at BYU-I

Teach brought up the Provo Tabernacle becoming the second Provo Temple.

Then the lovely girl from California says, "I don't get the excitement behind this becoming a temple. I mean, Provo already has a temple. Why don't they just turn the land into student housing or something?"

Are you kidding me? My hand shot up so fast I almost dislocated my shoulder.

I then proceeded to tell her why it meant so much to me, and to everyone down there. It's a big deal, and exciting deal as well. My professor let me show her the drawing of what the temple will look like. "But, it's not even white, it barely looks like a temple."

She's an absolute winner.
