The Belo Horizonte Brazil Temple dedication does not have a presiding elder announced like the other two. Could it be Elder Soares?
ReplyDeletePossibly, but it's not a guarantee. Usually, when no presiding apostle is announced, it has been because a member of the first Presidency is assigned to dedicate the temple/ And particularly if President Oaks or President Eyring is assigned to dedicate that temple, the confirmation of that information is only provided closer to the time of the dedication to ensure that they can make the trip in question. That is also not a guarantee, euither but it has been true for a fair few temples that have not a presiding official announced. Thank you, Chris, for taking time to comment. Ialways appreciate hearing from you.
DeleteThe Church News has also reported on the set temple dedications and set groundbreaking. I have also updated by documents showing apostolic temple dedications and Temple groundbreakings in 2025 vs. 2026. Meanwhile, a media day has been held for the new visitors' center at Temple Square, and a White House senior adviser has visited Church headquarters, and you can now watch or listen to songs performed by the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square and the BYU-Idaho choral group during General Conference weekend. My thanks once again to you all.
