Review of Temple Construction Progress During the Third Quarter of 2021

Hello again, everyone! As the last day of September 2021 winds towards its' conclusion, not only has the commenting period for my October 2021 General Conference predictions ended, but additionally, as September concludes, it is time to take a look back at the temple construction progress that has occurred from the beginning of the year until today.  So we have the three reports showing where things stood at the beginning of this year, in the days just prior to the April 2021 General Conference, at the halfway point of this year, and how things look as we near the October 2021 General Conference weekend.

As I've mentioned in the past, I anticipate that between the Church's capacity to use modular components on smaller temples (a process which could potentially expand to larger temples) and precast concrete panels on other temples, that might accelerate the process whereby most temples are able to be constructed in the future.  With that in mind, I believe that we will see most temples moved from the status of just being announced to being under construction within roughly 2-3 years of their announcements.

And if that can happen, that in turn will clear up the queue for more new temples to be announced. So I anticipate that, given all that has been done to clear the queue since the April 2021 General Conference, we are more likely than not to see President Nelson announce another double-digit number of temples this weekend. While there could be 20 or more that are announced, it's also possible that the number of temples announced this weekend could be any other double-digit number between 10 and 20.

Whatever might happen this weekend, I will do my level best to cover those developments here ASAP after any such announcements are made.That does it for now.

BREAKING NEWS: October 2021 General Conference Leadership Meetings Includes Releases and Sustainings of Area Seventies

 Hello again, everyone! I mentioned earlier this week that I wasn't sure whether or not the Church would hold leadership training sessions, but this afternoon, a news release being prepared with content that will be shared has conclusively verified that the leadership training is occurring today and tomorrow. Among the other highlights that will be shared, the Newsroom release as it currently exists showed that President Nelson focused his remarks on the life experiences of Joseph Smith as the Prophet of the restoration can help general and area leaders in our day to fill their assignments more effectively.

The Newsroom releasse will also share information about counsel given by Presidents Dallin H. Oaks and Henry B. Eyring, First and Second Counselors in the First Presidency, and from Acting President M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, during this morning's leadership meetings. The offered counsel in and of itself is breaking news, but the news release as it currently stands also referenced the releases and sustainings affecting area seventies I found it interesting that both releases and sustainings occurred. and I'm intrigued to see what that means.

In the meantime, I will plan on adding more information to this post as the Newsroom release is updated accordingly. 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.
