Update: General Church Leaders Minister to Church Members in Houston as cleanup efforts continue

Hello, everyone! Just wanted to report some fantastic Church news. In the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, which hit Texas hard, Church leaders sent President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Second Counselor in the First Presidency; Presiding Bishop Gerald Causse, and General Authority Seventy Elder J. Devn Cornish (who, if his biography on the Church's website is correct, serves as assistant executive director of the Church History Department) to survey the damage, and offer assistance, consolation, and an apostolic blessing to those Saints affected by the storm and those in Texas to assist with cleanup. You can read more about this here.

In the meantime, I wanted you all to know that I am hard at work on updating my potential timeline for future temple-related events, and I hope to post that update later this week, including (hopefully) a look at when each announced temple may have a groundbreaking, and when all temples in any phase (including those set for renovation) may be completed and dedicated. For now, all comments are welcome and appreciated.

Until my next post, I wish you all the best. Thank you for the privilege of your time, and may the Lord be with and bless each of you in the week ahead.
