Washington D. C. Temple Prepares to Close for Renovation

Hello again, everyone! As some of you might recall, over a year ago (on February 23, 2017), the First Presidency announced the renovation closures for the Oakland California and Washington D. C. Temples. With the closure of the Oakland Temple having taken place on February 19, the closure of the temple named for the US capital city will occur this Sunday.

Since it is an older and comparatively larger temple, the renovation process is only anticipated to conclude during 2020, and it has been my long-held opinion that that temple will only be rededicated during the final quarter of 2020.

Of course, if the renovation proceeds more quickly than expected, that would, in turn, allow the dedication sooner than I anticipate, which would be wonderful. I will be sure to pass along any updates in terms of temple progress as soon as I can after learning 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.
