2020:
Mid-March: Dedication
of the Rio de Janeiro Brazil Temple (169th operating temple)
Note: Although information about the progress on
this temple’s renovation is scarce, given the need to adjust my estimate for
the Durban South Africa Temple, I have moved this temple’s rededication to this
point. If I find out anything that leads me to alter my thoughts in that
respect, I will adjust this estimate again.
Saturday &
Sunday April 4 & 5: 190th Annual General Conference
Note: Given that there have been 27 new temples
announced during the first 3 General Conferences of President Nelson’s
prophetic administration, I believe he will continue to announce temples every
six months in General Conference, and may also announce some in between each
April, October, and subsequent April.
June: Rededication
of the Tokyo Japan Temple
Mid-August:
Dedication of the Winnipeg Manitoba Temple (170th operating temple)
Saturday &
Sunday October 3 & 4: 190th Semiannual General Conference
Note: Temple announcements are always possible, so
it is not hard to believe that a few could be announced during this General
Conference.
Mid-to-late October:
Rededication of the Washington DC Temple
December: Dedication
of the Abidjan Côte d'Ivoire Temple (171st operating temple)
Note: At the groundbreaking for this temple (which
occurred on November 8, 2018), Elder Neil L. Andersen, who presided at this
event and gave his remarks in French, noted that construction of the temple was
anticipated to take around two years. For that reason, I am moving my previous
estimate for this temple’s dedication to this point.
Final note on
2020: Based on what I have heard, 2020 seems as though it will be another
big year for temple groundbreakings. I am specifically keeping my eyes open for
information on the following temples: Puebla Mexico (in view of a tip from a
member of the Church in Mexico, who noted the groundbreaking for that temple is
anticipated in early 2020), Salta and Mendoza Argentina, Managua Nicaragua,
Phnom Penh Cambodia, Yuba City California, Layton Utah, and Belem Brazil Temples.
2021:
Mid-March:
Rededication of the Mesa Arizona Temple
Saturday &
Sunday April 3 & 4: 191st Annual General Conference
Note: Given that there have been 27 new temples
announced during the first 3 General Conferences of President Nelson’s
prophetic administration, I believe he will continue to announce temples every
six months in General Conference, and may also announce some in between each
April, October, and subsequent April.
Late April-early
May: Dedication of the Yigo Guam Temple (172nd operating temple
Mid-to-late May: Dedication
of the Praia Cabo Verde Temple (173rd operating temple)
Early-to-mid June:
Dedication of the San Juan Puerto Rico Temple (174th operating
temple)
Mid-August: Rededication
of the Hamilton New Zealand Temple
Saturday &
Sunday October 2 & 3: 191st Semiannual General Conference
Note: Given that there have been 27 new temples
announced during the first 3 General Conferences of President Nelson’s
prophetic administration, I believe he will continue to announce temples every
six months in General Conference, and may also announce some in between each
April, October, and subsequent April.
Mid-to-late
October: Dedication of the Pocatello Idaho Temple (175th operating
temple)
December:
Dedication of the Quito Ecuador Temple (176th operating temple)
Final note on
2021: If, as anticipated, several more temples are announced in 2019 and
2020, and any which have not yet had a groundbreaking have that occur within
that same time period, that in turn will multiply the number of known temple
events which will likely occur in 2021 and the years beyond. As more is learned
about future temple renovations, that will also have an impact on the number of
future events.

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.
