Hello again, everyone. I am back in the early morning hours of March 28 to note some exciting news: I have received a report that indicates the renovation process is formally underway for the Tokyo Japan Temple.
As some of you might recall, nearly one year ago, on April 11, 2017, the Church had announced the closure of that temple in addition to the renovation closures for the Memphis, Oklahoma City, and Asuncion temples. The Tokyo Temple had officially closed for its' renovation process over the same weekend that the October 2017 General Conference was held.
In the almost six months since that time, there has been no word whatsoever in terms of any progress on that process. That all changed at some point between when I last checked for such updates and now.
The update shows that the annex building has been razed and that the surface parking has been removed. With that in mind, I can definitely see why the Church indicated in the official announcement of this temple's closure that this temple will reopen sometime in 2020.
Since it is a comparatively smaller temple, I would anticipate that it will likely be rededicated during the first half of 2020. Stay tuned for more updates on this process as I learn of them. 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.

BREAKING NEWS: Renovation Efforts Formally Underway for Tokyo Japan 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.
