BREAKING TEMPLE NEWS: Site Confirmed, Exterior Rendering Releaed, and Groundbreaking Announced for the Bahia Blanca Argentina Temple

Hello again, everyone! In aa single announcement today, the First Presidency released the location and rendering for the Bahia Blanca Argentina Temple and set a groundbreaking for it. The location will be Aldea Romana over Cabrera Avenue on a 8.14 acre site. The project will feature an ancillary building of 25,000 square feet, which will feature patron housing and a distribution center,

The temple itself will be a single-story edifice of 19,000 square feet. Elder Joquin E. Costa, the current First Counselor in the Brazil Area Presidency, will break ground for this temple that will serve his home city of Concordia, Entre Rios, Argentina on Saturday April 9, 2022. That means it will occur two weeks prior to the recently-announced groundbreaking for the Lindon Utah Temple. So there will be 1 temple groundbreaking in March, followed by 3 temple groundbreakings in April in a 3-week period. 

That also means that, before the one-year anniversary of the Deseret Peak Utah Temple groundbreaking (which will be observed on May 15), four new temples will have had a groundbreaking before the time it tookto do the first one last year. That suggests 2022 will indeed be a big year for groundbreakings. I can't wait to see the announcements that may come next.
