BREAKING TEMPLE NEWS: Specific Times Unofficially Confirmed for Temple Groundbreakings on September 11

Hello again, everyone! I have mentioned in the past my theory that, if the Nairobi Kenya and Neiafu Tonga Temples both had their groundbreakings at the same time of day (such as 9:00 or 10:00 AM local time, then the groundbreaking for the Neiafu Tonga Temple would likely occur first, since Tonga was 10 hours ahead of Kenya. In the interim, I have looked for (and failed to find) exact times for those events. That search led me to Facebook, where the relevant pages noted that the delayed broadcast for the Neiafu Tonga Temple groundbreaking will be available to view from that page at 10:00 PM MDT tonight.

By contrast, the Nairobi Kenya Temple groundbreaking will be available through that temple's Facebook page at 12:30 AM Utah time tonight, when September 10 goes into September 11. So it appears that, as I had anticipated, the broadcast of the previously-held Neiafu groundbreaking will be available to watch 2.5 hours before the broadcst for the Nairobi groundbreaking.I anticipate that reports on those groundbreakings could be made available not long after those broadcasts end. So I will keep my eyes open for that and will probably update this breaking news post with the sources confirming those groundbreakings once those are available. I was grateful to have been able to find this information and to pass it along to you all here.

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.

Added at around 8:45 PM The Church Temples site has unoffically confirmed that the groundbreaking has been held, but the release of the official report on that is still pending. This means the Church now has 42 temples under construction and 42 others announced. The anticipated completion of that temple has been set as sometime in 2024. Additional updates will follow as official sources confirm the information. For now, my thanks once again to you all.

CORRECTION (added just after 10:00 PM): At some point following the publication of this post, the times noted on the two Facebook pages I mentioned apparently changed. It's now been noted that the groundbreaking for the Nairobi Kenya Temple will be streamed on the aforementioned page at 2:00 AM MDT (just over 3 hours from now, while the delayed broadcast of the Neiafu Tonga Temple will not be available until tomorrow night at 10:00 PM MDT. Once reports are shared about the two temple groundbreakings, I will be sure to pass those along here. My thanks once again to you all.
