BREAKING TEMPLE NEWS: Church Identifies Location of the Saratoga Springs Utah Temple; Has Submitted Preliminary Plans to City

Hello again, everyone! Breaking news has been reported again by the Church. Church leaders today confirmed the official location and provided preliminary plans in detail for the Saratoga Springs Utah Temple. The plans include the temple, which will cover an approximate 87,000 square foot area, and an adjacent 21,000 square foot meetinghouse. No groundbreaking date has been announced.

But this was a most welcome development, as it gives some idea as to how soon we could see a groundbreaking. As I mentioned earlier, I anticipate that we may hear something on the Brasilia Brazil Temple next, unless any other temple surprises are announced. I would then anticipate the Richmond Virginia Temple being next, followed by the Saratoga Springs Utah Temple. But time will tell whether or not that proves to be correct.

I will take some time over the next few days as I am able to do so and will revisit the order in which temples are listed both on my temple construction progress report and in terms of specific estimates for known temple events, and will hope to have something published in both cases within the next week or less. I am grateful for this unanticipated but most welcome development.

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.
