Hello again, everyone! Given that a number of temple updates have been brought to my attention, I wanted to post again now to share them in sum and total. First of all, after not having an update on the Abidjan Côte d'Ivoire Temple since mid-November of last year, it has been reported that its' foundation is nearing completion. Next, as previously noted, work began in earnest on the Pocatello Idaho Temple today, as site clearing and rough grading is underway. So that temple was in a "Construction pending" status for only around 48 hours after its' groundbreaking.
Last week, surplus items from the Yigo chapel were being sold. With the completion of that surplus sale, that chapel is now being prepared for demolition. And the final two updates I have are on temples undergoing renovation. At the Memphis Tennessee Temple, entrance doors have been installed, and, as noted earlier, open house reservations are now available for that temple (with such reservations being accepted through Saturday April 20, which will mark the last day of that open house).
Meanwhile, on the Oklahoma City Oklahoma Temple, entrance sconces are being installed, while the exterior lighting is now operational. As noted elsewhere on this blog earlier today, reservations for that temple's open house will be available from today through Wednesday May 1, which will coincide with the last day of such tours. I do continue to monitor any and all Church news and temple developments, and will do my level best to pass word of those along to you all 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. 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.

Numerous Temple Updates Provided
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.

Hello again, everyone! Yet another update has been provided on the Pocatello Idaho Temple. A construction barrier is going up around the site, where construction trailers are also in place. And the information I shared in the post above still applies as well.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, there may be quite a few Church news stories which I have not covered on this blog up to this point, and any of those are well worthy of your attention. Catch the latest at the following websites:
https://www.thechurchnews.com/ (The Church News)
https://www.lds.org/church/news?lang=eng (the News & Events page from the Church's official website)
https://www.mormonnewsroom.org/ (the Church's official Newsroom)
I'd like to conclude this comment by apologizing to you all that I have not been doing a better job lately with providing updates on Church news stories. I continue to deal with ongoing health issues that have hampered my capabilities to do so for the last several days. But on top of that, I am trying my hardest to get my updated estimates for known temple events in the near future completely corrected, updated, and revised, and I hope to have those posted perhaps by the end of this week. I'd like to thank you all for your ongoing interest and support. I could not do what I do to the degree I do it here on this blog without that. I appreciate you all.
