When it was dedicated in August 1999, the Spokane Temple was the 59th temple in the world. Earlier this month, President Thomas S. Monson dedicated the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple, bringing the total number of temples to 130.

Now exactly 10 years later, there are miracles at the Spokane Temple again.

During the week of Sept. 1-7, Wimzie Prints will participate in the Week of Hope - a campaign created by an organization called Hope Is In The Cards. Over seven days, Wimzie Prints will offer free postage to every customer who purchases any individual greeting card or note card from her online store.

"The recession has hit America's workforce hard," said Goodall Smith. "The simple act of mailing a positive, upbeat message of thanks or support lifts the spirits of the recipient and the sender. It's a way to do something positive, right now, and spread hopeful, uplifting messages across our country."
