Additional Update Reported on the Fortaleza Brazil Temple

Hello again, everyone! It has been an interesting day because updates on temple-related progress keep coming in. I heard from a few sources just a short while ago that a vapor barrier and stone cladding was being attached to the Fortaleza Brazil Temple, and that is an additional development to the earlier report I received about the roof trusses being set for the adjoining meetinghouse (which I had mistakenly reported as having occurred for the temple instead; I apologize for the unintentionally provided misinformation, and am grateful to readers who have been good enough to catch this and other errors on my part and let me know about them. That aside, I have not seen anything that would indicate that this temple will be completed any earlier than mid-to-late 2019, and, as I have previously stated, I see that happening in either June or August (note that if it does happen in August, it wouldn't surprise me, as I have previously stated, if the open house is held in June, prior to the annual July recess for our General Authorities.

I am keeping my eyes open for any and all temple-related news, and I will continue to do my level best to post updates, including any changes to estimates I have previously provided, along with any clarifications or corrections of previously posted content, as I become aware of all of that. That does it for this update. Any comments continue to be welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in all that you do.

In addition to my life-long love for the subjects which I cover in the posts of this blog, I have long held the belief that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable. Differences of opinion are natural, while being disagreeable in expressing those differences is not. And in that sense, I have no desire to close the door on anyone who earnestly desires to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on subjects covered in the posts on this blog.

At the same time, however, I recognize that we live in a time when incivility, discourtesy, unkindness, and even cyber-bullying has regrettably become part of online interactions. With that in mind, while anyone who wishes can comment on anything if they choose to do so, I hereby reserve the right to immediately delete any comments which are critical, unkind, lack civility, or promote prodcuts, services, and values contrary to either the Church, or to the rules of online etiquette.

I'd also like to remind all who comment here that I try to respond personally to each individual comment as I feel is appropriate. Such replies are not meant to end the conversation, but to acknowledge earnest feedback as it is submitted.

And in order to better preserve the spirit and pure intentions for which this blog was established, I also hereby request that anyone not commenting with a regular user name (particularly those whose comments appear under the "Unknown" or "Anonymous" monikers, give the rest of us a name to work with in addressing any replies. If such individuals do not wish to disclose their actual given names, a pseudonym or nickname would suffice.

Any comments made by individuals who opt to not give a name by which they can ber identified may, depending on the substance and tone of such comments, be subject to deletion as well. I would respectfully ask that all of us do all we can to keep the dialogue positive, polite, and without malice or ill-will. May the Lord bless us all in our discussion of these important matters.
