Hello again, everyone! While I hope that any or all of you will continue to feel free to share your thoughts on the content I have posted in the last few days about current and potential future temples within the Pacific Area, I need to deviate from that series yet again to share some game-changing information about completion estimates for temples currently under construction.
What has changed is that the Rio de Janeiro Temple, once anticipated to potentially be dedicated not long after its counterpart, the Fortaleza Brazil Temple, since both the Lisbon Portugal and Arequipa Peru temples have made more consistent progress, Lisbon now takes the spot once held by Rio, Arequipa takes Lisbon's previous place, and Rio has been moved to the bottom of the list of those currently under construction.
Additionally, while I was once confident that the completion and dedication of the Rome Italy Temple would not occur until the early months of 2019 (rather than before the end of 2018), and since I had to adjust things on my temple construction progress report anyways, I have now put both the Kinshasa and Rome Temples in a new section for temples that could be dedicated between late 2018 or early 2019. I have also put the Arequipa Peru and Rio de Janeiro Brazil Temples in their own section, since they both could be dedicated during late 2019-early 2020.
That said, I still believe with all my heart that the Kinshasa temple will be dedicated prior to the end of next year, and what I have heard, that it is likely that the Rome temple will not be dedicated until the early months of 2019. And given the substantial progress that the temples in Arequipa and, to a smaller degree, in Rio, have had reported, I feel confident that they will both likely be dedicated prior to the end of 2019.
In that regard, however, I am doing my best to keep my eyes open for information, and I will be sure to pass along any further progress and/or changes in completion estimates as I become aware of them. That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated (including and especially those I have done and will do in the series about current and future temple prospects on my list). 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 everything you do.

Completion Estimates Changed for Several Temples
I have had a lifelong love for Church history, which has extended to ongoing reports of the ministry of our apostles and prophets, General Conference, and all temple developments. This blog enables me to share that love with all who read my thoughts on these developments, which are sometimes reported multiple times per day as needed.

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.
