After the September 1997 announcement that the LDS Church would build a temple in Houston, the search
began for an appropriate site. The site eventually chosen formerly belonged to a developer unwilling to sell. Years earlier, however, the developer had gone through
difficult financial times and had made a promise to God that if God would help him avoid financial ruin, he would someday "pay God back". When the developer learned what
was proposed to be built on his land, he decided to sell the land as his way of paying God back.[1]
LDS Church
President Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the Houston Texas Temple on August
26, 2000. The temple serves over forty-four thousand Latter-day
Saints in the southern half of Texas. The temple has a total of 33,970 square feet
(3,156 m2), two ordinance rooms, and three sealing rooms. It is one of four LDS temples in the state of Texas.
