With that noted, I wanted to note that, since the area seventies serving in Idaho have belonged to the Fifth Quorum of the Seventy, while those serving in the North America Central Area have been assigned to the Sixth Quorum of the Seventy. Since those areas will be merged, I am not sure how the composition of those two Area Seventies Quorums may have changed based on these adjustments. At the moment, the area seventies page on the Church's official website only lists the areas which comprised the membership of each Quorum as of earlier this year.
For some reason, the list of the members of each Qoorum has been removed. I am asssuming that is just temporary while the list is updated following the changes which were announced earlier this month in General Conference. Having noted that, I wanted to also mention that I am in the process of analyzing the newly-announced assignments and will have that posted later today.

Hello again, everyone! I am still hard at work on my analysis of the newly-announced area leadership assignments, but I have another interesting note in that respect: For the last several years, the Middle East/Africa North Area of the Church has been administered from Church headquarters by two General Authority Seventies, and the terms "Senior Administrator" and "Junior Administrator" were employed in reference to them. As part of this year's changes, while the Middle East/Africa North are will continue to be administered from Church headquarters, but will be overseen by a presidency of 3.
ReplyDeleteIt is also worth noting that, among the newly-called area presidencies are two area seventies. Alexey V. Samaykin continues to serve as Second Counselor in the Europe East Area Presidency, and the First Presidency has called Jeffrey H. Singer, the only area seventy currently living in the Middle East/Africa North Area as Second Counselor in the presidency of that area.
Again, I will have more analysis on these newly-announced assignments later this evening. In the meantime, my thanks once again to you all for your ongoing interest and support.
Hello again, James. Not entirely related to this post. Just a quick reminder for your temple updates. If you have seen this article published previously in the Deseret News site.

Thank you for stopping by, Chris. I appreciate hearing from you. I have read the article in question, and have shared some commentary on it in prior posts. That said, I just completed a thorough going-over of the sources I had available for temple information. While I certainly hope that the Church will be able to begin construction on the Tooele Valley Utah Temple and have it dedicated before the Salt Lake Temple rededication occurs, at the moment, there has not yet been anything of which I am aware which would indicate that the site for that temple has been selected. Oncem a site is officially confirmed, I am sure we will have a better idea in terms of how soon things might happen for that temple. Until that occurs, I have had to weigh what I know against what I don't for every temple. And in that respect, I'd refer you to the following web address for my more thorough analysis regarding temple progress:

If what I have heard is anywhere near correct, then the 8 temples for which the Church will have broken ground in the first half of 2019 is anticipated to be overshadowed by the number of temples which will have a groundbreaking in the second half of 2019. At the moment, I am still anticipating that at least one other temple event (a dedication, rededication, or groundbreaking) will be announced before the end of June, but that will depend largely on how quickly things develop on one or two fronts.
In the meantime, hope this information (and my analysis of anticipated timing for temple events) is helpful to you, and thanks for taking time to comment and for sharing that article again here. It will be an important development to keep in mind going forward for sure. Thanks again.
