Progress Noted on the Port-au-Prince Haiti Temple

Hello again, everyone! The last time I posted an update on the status of the Port-au-Prince Haiti Temple was on February 1 of this year, at which point I had noted that the main floor concrete slab was being poured. New information received today indicates that that pouring process has been completed. So it would seem that the construction of that temple is moving along at a steady pace.

On February 28 of this year, I had offered my revised estimate that this temple's dedication could occur during mid-to-late May of next year. It will be interesting to see how that changes as this year progresses. It may be of interest to some of you to know that, as should be obvious, if the dedication for the Rome Italy Temple is not able to occur until early 2019, that would in turn push back the likely time-frames for the dedications of the temples in Kinshasa, Fortaleza, and Port-au-Prince.

That might also be the case for the rededications of the Memphis Tennessee and Oklahoma City Oklahoma Temples. And it will be interesting to see how soon the Frankfurt Germany Temple might be rededicated as well. At the moment, it would appear that the renovation of that temple has been delayed enough that venturing a general and therefore even a more specific time-frame for that temple's rededication may be more difficult than I have recently believed and asserted.

But I am keeping my eye on all temple-related developments and will be sure to post an update on all of that ASAP after I learn about 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.
