Hello again, everyone! Today's major temple news pertains to 3 Latin American temples. The Coban Guatemala Temple was dedicated on Sunday by Elder Dale G. Renlund. The groundbreaking was held for the Santa Cruz Bolivia Temple on Saturday. Then today, the groundbreaking was announced for the Londrina Brazil Temple. The first two developments speak for themselves.
So let's discuss the groundbreaking for the Londrina Brazil Temple. The Londrina Brazil Temple will have its' groundbreaking on August 17, the same date as the previously announced groundbreaking for the Austin Texas Temple. Since Londrina Brazil time is two hours ahead of the time in Austin Texas, it's possible that the Londrina groundbreaking will occur before Austin.
Elder Ciro Schmiel, First Counselor in the Brazil Area Presidency, will preside at the temple groundbreaking. This groundbreaking announcement follows the temple's October 2022 announcement, a site location released roughly 7 weeks later, and the artistic rendering released on January 8 of this year.
This news is a very good sign. It means that groundbreakings this year will officially outpace groundbreakings last year. Last year, we only had 8 groundbreakings, with the last one taking place on November 25. So this year, the 8 groundbreakings we will have so far will occur by August 17, with 3.5 months left in the year for additional groundbreakings.
Hopefully, other groundbreakings will be announced soon. For my part, I continue to monitor any and all Church News, Newsroom, and Church of Jesus Christ Temples updates and will be sure to pass word of those along to you all as they cross my radar. In the meantime, that does it for now.
