BREAKING TEMPLE NEWS: Specific Date Announced for the Groundbreaking of the Salta Argentina Temple

Hello again, everyone! Within the last hour or so, new information from the Church of Jesus Christ Temples site has provided more specific information about the timing for the Salta Argentina Temple groundbreaking.  According to that site's page for the Satla Argentina Temple, the groundbreaking for that temple will occur on Wednesday November 4 (two days from now) at 6:30 PM local time. That coverts to Wednesday November 4 @ 2:30 PM here in Utah.

A couple of other thoughts about this: I had thought (and suggested) that the groundbreaking for this temple could have its' groundbreaking occur on the same date as the groundbreakings for the Mendoza Argentina and Antofagasta Chile Temples. But unless there is confirmation on those two occurring on this date, either or both may occur on another day (or two separate days) later this month.

And this means that the groundbreaking for this temple will occur ten days before the also recently-confirmed groundbreaking for the Coban Guatemala Temple. And in 48 case, we now have confirmation of the exact dates for the groundbreakings of 2 of the 8 temples scheduled to have that occur this month. I think we may see at least one more temple have a groundbreaking prior to the mid-point in November, but I'm not as certain on that.

Either way, it's been a crazy 48-72 hours in terms of temple construction developments, and I can only imagine what's ahead in the coming days. I will be sure to monitor it all and will try to bring word of those updates to you all as I become aware of such things. 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 comments are made in accordance with the established guidelines.

  1. Hello again, everyone! After the last few days have seen specific information on the exact dates for the groundbreaking of two temples of the Church this month, there have not been any subsequent reports today to provide specific windows for any of the other 6 groundbreakings set to occur this month.

    I would just note that, despite what I shared in my post above (that the exact date being announced for the Salta Argentina Temple groundbreaking likely meant that the groundbreakings for the Mendoza Argentina and Antofagasta Chile Temples will not take place on that same day), there could still be an outside chance, however remote, that the Church will break ground for the other temple in Argentina and the next one for Chile on that date.

    The only difference is that an exact date has been specified for Salta, while the confirmation of any similar information for the other two has not yet occurred. That being said, I will be interested to see what happens with the timing of temple groundbreakings for this month and next month. My thanks once again to you all.

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.
