Hello again, everyone! This will just be a very quick post to pass along some information of which I became aware around 10-15 minutes ago. It appears that severe storms have struck several nations in the Asia Area of the Church. In particular, my local news just mentioned that some of those upheavals of nature have occurred specifically in the nations of India and Indonesia.
While nothing solid has been mentioned in relation to Thailand, if past, current, or future storms have had any impact on the Saints there, then I can see why Church leaders may potentially be opting to hold off on any announcement about the groundbreaking for the Bangkok Thailand Temple until weather conditions clear. There may be a slight possibility that the Philippines could be affected by the Asian storms as well, but it seems unlikely, as my research shows that the Philippines is distant enough from the affected nations that that shouldn't have an impact.
But it could be that any Asian temples under consideration for an announcement could have that process delayed for the moment while the Church assesses if, how, and in what manner the current storm season may hinder the feasibility of such an announcement. In the meantime, it could also be true that. as I observed in an earlier post, President Nelson may be waiting on making the first temple groundbreaking announcement(s) of his presidency until 3 or more announced temples are ready for construction.
It would also not surprise me in any way to find out that such announcements are made 3-6 weeks before the groundbreakings are set to take place, or that they perhaps have a smaller window between the announcement of such groundbreakings and when they are scheduled to take place. Whatever might occur in that regard, I will do my level best to bring word of any developments to you all here 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. If you enjoyed what you read here and would like to stay informed of newly-added content, please feel free to subscribe. 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.

Some Additional Observations About Asian Temples
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.
