Preliminary Full-Scale Efforts Underway for the 3 Temples Which Had a Groundbreaking on May 4

Hello again, everyone! At some point between the last time I checked for temple updates and now, newly-reported information indicates that preliminary full-scale work is now underway for the 3 temples which had a groundbreaking on May 4. At the sites of the Yigo Guam and San Juan Puerto Rico Temples, construction barriers have been put up according to new photographs submitted to the Church of Jesus Christ Temples website within the last couple of days. And a new photograph for the Praia Cabo Verde Temple, which was taken on July 1 of this year; shows that site grading and excavation is now underway for that temple.


At this point, it looks to me as though the Praia temple is currently ahead of the Yigo and San Juan temples in terms of the progress that has been made. But now that all three are out of the "Full-scale construction pending" status, hopefully further reports along the way will demonstrate whether or not the 3 temples in question will be completed in the same order in which their groundbreakings occurred (Yigo, Praia, and San Juan). Further, this means that the Lima Peru Los Olivos Temple is the only one which now has full-scale construction pending.

It is my personal hope that soon confirmation will be provided on the Belem Brazil Temple groundbreaking arrangements, along with announcements about a few other groundbreaking ceremonies may be announced within the next month or two, for temples that will have a groundbreaking ni August, September, and October. For my part, I will continue to monitor all temple developments and will bring word of those to you all as I receive it, in addition to continuing to pass along any major Church news that crosses my radar as well.

That does it for now. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated, on any post at any time, as long as such feedback is in compliance with the established guidelines.

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.
