SALT LAKE CITY – The president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced plans for four new temples as he kicked off the final day of a church conference in Salt Lake City.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/1RSYuu6) that Thomas S. Monson said Sunday that LDS temples will be built in Zimbabwe, Ecuador, Brazil and Peru.
Monson, who gave a short speech the night before, also said that the choices Mormons make will determine whether they reach their goal of "celestial glory."
The 88-year-old, considered a prophet, has offered fewer sermons at the bi-annual General Conferences in the last year.
More than 100,000 Mormons are estimated to be attending the two-day conference.
Millions more are expected to watch live broadcasts from their homes.
