Hello again, everyone! With General Conference now less than 12 hours away, the third quarter of 2022 is almost in the history books. But before it completely passes away, I couldn't let it go without reporting on the latest temple construction updates. As has been customary for all such reports in the past, we will look back on that progress from the beginning of the year until now.
So as a refresher, you can look back at where things stood as this year began, one day before the April General Conference, and at the rough mid-point of 2022. And as we conclude the third quarter of 2022, one last report shows where things stand now. So much has happened with temple construction thus far this year, and with General Conference weekend upon us, even more milestones are anticipated throughout the end of this year.
That includes the likely announcement of new temples this weekend. So, concerning temple construction developments, buckle up! It's going to be a wild ride. For my part, I continue to monitor all such updates and will bring the highlights to you all here through breaking news updates in new posts or progress updates on the comment threads of existing posts.
In the meantime, that does it for now. Thank you for the privilege of your time. All comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated, on any post at any time, as long as the offered feedback is made per the established guidelines. I hope any of you who would like to share anything will take your opportunity to “sound off” in the comments below.

Hello again, everyone! The final two comments on the threads of the previous post highlight the new announcement made this morning in General Conference relating to the revised "For the Strength of Youth" pamphlet:

My thanks once again to you all.
The Church News noted that, despite the fact that President Nelson is mostly in great health, in view of his advanced age, he was seated on a tall chair while giving his remarks:

While this report may lead to some speculation that he's slowing down or may not have as much time left as previously asserted, since he still is reportedly energetic, vigorous, and running circles around others, I don't see this as suggesting anything.
Rather, my assumption is that as a former physician, a man of science, and a mam of faith, he may simply be following a recommendation from his own physicians because of his age. I wouldn't read any more into this than that. My thanks once again to you all.
Here is one more Church News report:
