Hello again, everyone! I am back, this time to provide a brief update that has been noted for the Durban South Africa Temple. I am figuring out how to word this for inclusion on my temple construction report, but wanted to share the latest with each of you right away.
While work continues on the baptistry and the temple utility components, the temple grounds are being backfilled, while the exterior of the temple is being waterproofed. In the meantime, the basement floor of the missionary housing facility is nearing completion, and work continues on all electrical and mechanical systems of the temple. Foam insulation continues to be added, piles are being sunk, and palm trees are going in throughout the temple grounds.
It was good to hear the progress that has been made on this temple. This is the first update we have had on this temple in the last month. I also continue to hope for additional temple news every day. Whatever happens on that front going forward, you can count on my sharing that with you as soon as I can after learning of it.
That does it for this update. Any comments are welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time, and until my next post, I wish you all the best.

Minor Construction Update for the Durban South Africa Temple
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.
