Hello again, everyone! The latest temple news was shared this afternoon. The Newsroom has covered the start of the public open house for the San Pedro Sula Honduras Temple, confirmed the groundbreaking for the Wichita Kansas Temple, and set the groundbreaking for the Tarawa Kiribati Temple. Since the first two updates speak for themselves, all that remains is to cover the groundbreaking for the Tarawa Kiribati Temple.
The groundbreaking will occur on Saturday, November 2, 2024, with Elder Jeremy R. Jaggi, who serves as Second Counselor in the Pacific Area Presidency, presiding. Prior to today's announcement, the Tarawa Kiribati Temple was the temple for which its site had been confirmed for the longest period without a groundbreaking announcement being made. Given the fact that this groundbreaking was scheduled for just under two months from now, I think we will see other groundbreakings set to occur between now and then.
I also wanted to take a look at how this changes temple groundbreakings in 2023 vs. 2024. As you can see, there will be 12 groundbreakings (if nothing else is scheduled between now and then) this year in roughly the same amount of time it took for the Church to have 8 groundbreakings last year. So that's significant.
I will just add here that I was a little surprised that there was no site announcement for the Tacoma Washington Temple as I had previously reported, so the information I received about that was clearly in error. I apologize if I misled anyone to believe something that didn't turn out to be true.
Stay tuned here for updates from the Church News, Newsroom, and Church of Jesus Christ Temples sites. I’ll be sure to pass word of those along to you all as soon as I learn about them. In the meantime, that does it for now.
