Completion Estimate Altered for Frankfurt Germany Temple; Subsequent Adjustments Made to the Estimates for Other Events in 2018

Hello again, everyone! For a variety of reasons, I just barely completed my initial look at the Church websites for today. In the course of those checks, I was made aware of two things. First, the concrete of the basement addition for the Frankfurt Germany Temple has been waterproofed. Second, whatever the reasoning behind it, the completion estimate for that temple has been altered yet again. As recently as yesterday, that completion was anticipated to occur during mid-to-late 2018. But as of today, that has changed to just late 2018. This means that this temple's rededication will likely only occur during the fourth quarter of next year.

With that in mind, I took another look at the potential sequence that could occur for temple events in 2018. After further study on my part, I have pushed back my estimate for the dedication of the Concepcion Chile Temple to either Sunday September 16 or 23, and my estimate for the rededication of the Frankfurt Temple has been adjusted to Sunday October 14 or 21.

I am also keeping an eye on the progress (or lack thereof) on the construction of the Rome Italy Temple. While I feel reasonably certain that the dedication of that temple could occur on Sunday December 9 or 16, if this temple's progress is delayed for any reason whatsoever, that would push that back into early 2019.

Whatever might occur in terms of temple progress, you can count on me to bring you information in that regard as soon as I am able to after I receive it. That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, 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 everything 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.
