Hello again, everyone! As I noted yesterday, temple reopening announcements will now be made on Tuesday, although they will continue to go into effect on Monday as specified in their announcements, unless otherwise noted. The Newsroom and the Church News have announced changes affecting a total of 13 temples this week in Latin America, North America and Europe, with those changes confimed by the status tracker
First, the Helsinki Finland Temple will offer all proxy ordinances, effective Monday May 24. Meanwhile, the temples in Idaho Falls and Rexburg Idaho, Anchorage Alaska, Chicago Illinois, Montreal Quebec, and Regina Saskatchewan will move to phase 2-B, offering all living ordinances in addition to proxy baptisms. Meanwhile, the temples in Columbus Ohio and Washington D.C. are being given phase 2-B status as well, which will allow patrons in those districts to schedule proxy baptisms at the nearest open temples.
And 5 more temples in Latin America (Concepcion and Santiago Chile, Porto Alegre Brazil, Quetzeltenango Guatemala, and Trujillo Peru) were confirmed to have resumed all phase 2 operations following their recent respective pauses.
As previously announced last week, the Kansas City Missouri and London and Preston England As of May 17, the Church's temple reopenings will stand as follows: 8 closed for major renovations; 1 (Kyiv Ukraine) which has still not opened in any phase since all temples were closed last year; 4 temples "paused" in their reopenings (1 in phase 1, 1 in phase 2, and 2 in phase 3); 4 in phase 1; 49 in phase 2; 75 in phase 2-B; and 27 in phase 3. Further information on these updates can be found in the links I shared at the beginning of this post.
I continue to monitor all Church news updates and temple developments, and will bring you all word of those as I become aware thereof. 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. Thank you for the privilege of your time. If you enjoyed what you read here and would like to stay informed of newly added content, please feel free to subscribe. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.

I'd just like to also note that the groundbreaking for the Deseret Peak Utah Temple is set to be held tomorrow. Unless I am mistaken, we could likely have a report on that within the next 26-30 hours. I will be particularly interested to see whether the Church is still planning to use an accelerated process for the construction of that temple. If so, we could see that process wrap up sometime in early-to-mid 2023, if all goes well. More to come on that tomorrow. In the meantime, my thanks once again to you all.
