Major temple construction progress

Rick Satterfield has made major changes in the way temples are listed for completion. He has moved Durban and Kinshasa up to be completed in 2018. He has moved Barranquilla and Fortaleza down to be completed in 2019. To give you an idea of what has changed with the construction status of temples, I am posting my progress report which is current as of today. Please also note that the open house for the Star Valley Wyoming temple starts tomorrow. Enjoy, and let me know what you think.

Changes in wording and order for temple progress

Hello, all! Though there has been no notable progress in temple construction since I posted my list yesterday, I have made several stylistic edits.

The first involved change the word estimated to the word anticipated in terms of completion or groundbreaking dates.

The second and by far the biggest change was moving up the completion date for the Barranquilla Colombia temple to between late 2018 and early 2019. I also put it ahead of the Kinshasa temple. Though that change is not and may not ever be on Brother Satterfield's website, I felt it was warranted. In my mind, the fact that foundation walls are going up in Barranquilla puts it ahead of Kinshasa, which is just having its foundation poured. He and you guys may disagree with me on this. Just let me know what you think.

Because of the changes, both slight and major, I have felt it appropriate to repost my list of temple progress. Enjoy!
