Additional Update Provided for Port-au-Prince Haiti 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.
Exciting news. Still waiting for Winepeg to advance onward. Plus I hope for other groundbreakings soon.
ReplyDeleteYou and me both, Chris. The word on Winnipeg is that it needed to be redesigned, which has caused the year-long delay between its groundbreaking and now. I found out that, if all goes well, full-scale efforts will begin on the construction of that temple in either April or May next year. Since winter is coming soon to the northern hemisphere, it makes sense that the Church would hold off on starting construction until Winter 2018 has cleared. As far as other groundbreakings, I heard in passing that 2018 would be a big year for such events, and it appears that, barring anything unexpected, the Lima Peru Los Olivos Temple will be the first one to have a groundbreaking next year. And there are others that are just waiting for a site confirmation and groundbreaking announcement. It will be awesome to see what happens there, and you can depend on my reporting any updates as soon as I learn of them. Thanks, Chris!
