Hello again, everyone! Breaking temple news was reported today. As some of you may know, the Port-au-Prince Haiti Temple has been stalled in its' current status for a while (with stone cladding taking longer than anticipated). As a result, the First Presidency today announced an updated schedule for that temple. According to this release from the Newsroom, the open house will now take place from Saturday August 3 to Saturday August 17, with the exception of the Sundays of August 4 and 11. The youth devotional will then follow on the night of Saturday August 31, and the temple will be dedicated in 3 sessions on Sunday September 1.
So the June 2 dedication of the Fortaleza Brazil Temple will now be held prior to the dedication of the Port-au-Prince Haiti Temple, and the Haiti temple will either be the first or second one dedicated in the second half of the year. I say that because depending on how consistently progress is made on the Durban South Africa Temple, that temple could potentially be dedicated prior to the Haiti Temple as well. Right now, the timing of the Durban dedication may be hard to determine. I will keep my eyes open for more on this as I become aware of it, and pass that along to you all here.
That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated, on any post at any time, as long as such comments are made in accordance with the established guidelines.

BREAKING TEMPLE NEWS: New Dates Announced for Port-au-Prince Haiti Temple Open House, Dedication
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.

Whew! Glad we chose not to go to the open house now! Saved us a lot of money. I guess that's what you get when you listen closely...;)

Michael, from what I gather, the issue is that the temple still has a lot of work to be done, and it's taken longer than the First Presidency originally thought when the dates were first announced. If all goes well, the September 1 dedication date should remain intact. The one thing I am not sure on is whether the Durban South Africa Temple dedication could occur before that as well. But it will be interesting to see what happens there. Incidentally, there has been a lot of progress reported on quite a few temples, including the one in Port-au-Prince, which I will be addressing in another new post later today. Thanks, as always, for stopping by to comment.
