Groundbreaking
anticipated:
181. Nairobi
Kenya Temple: Planning and approval phase; awaiting
official site announcement; construction contract awarded; groundbreaking could
occur in mid-to-late 2019.
182. Brasilia
Brazil Temple: Planning and approval phase; property fence installed around
temple site; groundbreaking could
occur in mid-to-late 2019.
Note: On September 1, 2019, I was advised
that concept plans for this temple were floating around social media. If those
plans are verified, a groundbreaking could occur within this period of time.
183. Greater
Manila Philippines Temple: Planning and approval phase; awaiting official name
announcement; groundbreaking could occur in mid-to-late 2019.
Note: Based on what is and is not known presently about this temple,
it seems probable that a groundbreaking for it could be fit in during this
window, if all goes well.
184. Harare
Zimbabwe Temple: Planning and approval phase; awaiting official site
announcement; President Nelson visited potential site on April 17, 2018;
groundbreaking anticipated in late 2019.
Note: Aside from the information noted above, in mid-November of
last year, Elder Andersen visited with Zimbabwe’s Vice President, and indicated
to him that the Church was hoping to begin construction on the Harare temple in
late 2019. Therefore, barring anything unexpected, it seems more likely than
not that a groundbreaking could occur at around this time.
