Hello again, everyone! A number of new temple developments have been reported within the last 12 hours or less. So let's get right into talking about those. First, the last time we had an update on the Abidjan Côte d'Ivoire Temple was almost four months ago, on November 17, 2018, at which time we learned that construction poles were being installed. Today, a new report shows that the construction barrier has been erected around the temple site, which is a major step setting the stage for the construction of the temple to officially begin.
We turn now to a couple of the temples that have a groundbreaking scheduled. At the Pocatello Idaho Temple site, a groundbreaking tent has been set up in preparation for the groundbreaking ceremony, which, as we know, is scheduled to occur this upcoming Saturday March 16 at 11:00 AM.
Barring anything unexpected occurring, I would anticipate that construction will be able to begin for that temple within the week following the groundbreaking ceremony. In the meantime, surplus items from the Yigo Guam chapel are being sold today and tomorrow in order to clear that chapel out before it is demolished.
And I have one other update to report by way of progress on the Raleigh North Carolina Temple renovation process. That temple's latest status update still notes that stone cladding has been completed, but also provides new updates indicating that decorative fencing has been delivered, and that landscaping is underway.
Given the fact that 1 new temple will be dedicated and 1 temple currently undergoing renovation will be rededicated in June, I stand by my earlier offered assessment that the rededication of the Raleigh Temple will likely be announced within the next month or two, but set to occur at some point in August, following the conclusion of the annual July recess for the General Authorities.
Additionally, I should note that, because of the many unexpected temple-related announcements we have seen within the last several months, I am anticipating a few more of those in the not-too-distant future. I do continue to monitor any and all Church news in addition to all temple developments and will do my level best to bring word of those to you all here as I receive it.
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. 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.

Additional Temple Updates Reported
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.

Just came across another great article published in the Deseret News about the dedication of the Rome Italy Temple. That article highlights some of the history behind President Nelson inviting all living apostles to join him in Rome for the temple dedication, and shares some insights from the apostles about how they were impacted by that invitation. You can read that article at the web address below:
