Hello again, everyone! As some of you might recall, in December of last year, the site location and preliminary details were released for the Lindon Utah Temple, with the note that a rendering would be released and a groundbreaking set when that was feasible, with project manageers working through the approvals with city leaders. In the interim, the Church has had a few examples in the recent past where initial site announcements were updated with renderings. I believe that happened most recently with other Utah or US temples, but I have not been able to confirm that.
Anyways, in the latest news update on that temple from the Church Temples site, it has been noted that a rendering has been added to the initial news release on the Newsroom. The rendering shows two steeples, no angel Moroni statue, and similar elements of design to the Layton Utah Temple, in addition to similarities to perhaps a few other temples. I will leave it to others (particularly longtime reader and commenter Jim Anderson, if he is willing to do so) to provide further insight on the temple's rendering. The timing of the release of this rendering comes as the Church is moving closer to being able to set a formal groundbreaking for that temple.
It seems likely that the grundbreaking for that temple could be set for July, August, or perhaps even September, and that the groundbreaking for the Lindon Utah Temple might be one of the next announced, if not the very next. Parenthetically, it is worth noting that I'm watching the following temples for potential groundbreaking announcements in the near future (listed in current order of likelihood, though that is subject to confirmation from the First Presidency through official announcements): Lindon Utah, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, Helena Montana, Pago Pago American Samoa, and Neiafu Tonga.
It would also not surprise me if, in the next several months, announcements came down the pike for temple groundbreakings in Port Moresby Papua New Guinea, Port Vila Vanuatu, Tarawa Kiribati, and Phnom Pehn Cambodia Temples. In addition, as previously mentioned, it would not surprise me if further action and official announcements were made regarding locations, renderings, or groundbreakings for any of the 9 other US temples which were announced most recently, or for 4-6 other temple cities outside the United States.
I won't list those particulars here for the time being, but will be happy to give the details to any of you who request them in the comments. I am grateful to have been able to hear about and pass along this news to you all here. I continue to monitor all Church news reports and temple developments, and will be sure to mention those as well as time and circumstances allow.
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.
