BREAKING NEWS: President Nelson's Daughter Passes Away; Artist's Rendering Released for San Juan Puerto Rico Temple

Hello again, everyone! Two breaking news developments have just been reported by the Church. First, after a courageous battle with cancer, another of President Nelson's daughters, Wendy Nelson Maxfield, passed away yesterday at the age of 67 after a courageous battle with cancer. She leaves behind her husband, Norman Maxfield, 7 children, and 20 grandchildren.

And in temple news, an artist's rendering has been released for the San Juan Puerto Rico Temple. It will be a single-story temple, which is anticipated to begin the construction process later this year, and construction is anticipated to take two years. As many of you know, that temple was just announced last October, so the fact that construction will get underway on it later this year is significant. We could be seeing many temples announced by President Nelson being built on the smaller side.

The San Juan Puerto Rico Temple now joins the Brasilia Brazil and Pocatello Idaho Temples that will almost certainly have construction begin later this year. As I previously mentioned, the Saratoga Springs Utah, Lima Peru Los Olivos, Greater Manila Philippines, Nairobi Kenya, and Harare Zimbabwe Temples are also on my watch list for their future groundbreakings at some point this year.

I do continue to monitor any and all Church news and temple developments and will bring word of those to you all here as I receive them. That does it for this post.
