Additional Temple Progress

Hello again, everyone! Today was a prime example of how things can change in terms of reported temple progress in a matter of a few short hours. In doing my second check of sources available to me on the subject of temple construction progress, I found the following additional updates:

In Rome Italy, scaffolding has been removed from the towers of the temple, and interior work is underway. After not having any progress reported on this temple for so long, this is tremendous  news. There is still not sufficient reason (in my opinion) to assume that Rome will be completed by the end of 2018, but I could see that temple being dedicated in the very early months of 2019, as I already observed.

In Durban South Africa, roof decking has been attached to the trusses, signalling a major milestone in that temple's progress. The one question in my mind is what the sequence of events might wind up being for early 2019, with the dedication of at least three temples anticipated, along with the rededication of at least three others. It will be interesting to see how that shapes out.

And in Fortaleza Brazil, roof trusses are being set. It still seems likely that the dedication of this temple will not happen until mid-to-late 2019. But the construction efforts on this temple have stayed on track, so I cannot rule out the possibility that that event could happen sooner, all going well.

As with everything else I pass along on this blog, you can depend on my keeping an eye out for continued developments in the process of construction, and on my passing those along as soon as I am able to do so after learning about them.

That does it for this post. Any comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in all that you do.

Significant Progress Reported on the Arequipa Peru Temple

Hello again, everyone! Hope you are well. In checking, as I always do, for any progress on temples worldwide, I learned that the construction of the Arequipa Peru Temple has reached a new wonderful milestone. The concrete exterior walls of the temple are completely finished, and the tower crane has been removed. It was great to hear about all of that, because it demonstrates to me that this temple could easily be completed before the end of 2019. That said, I did want to note that, while this is a great milestone for this temple, there are other projects planned for the complex of which this temple is only one of a few parts. As far as I can tell, none of the other projects have been started as of yet. But I am keeping an eye on all  of this and will pass along any new information as I become aware of it.

That does it for this post. Any comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best, especially for an inspiring Sabbath Day, and pray that the Lord will bless you all in all that you do.

Additional Progress Noted on various temples

Hello again, everyone! I wanted to post at this time to report some late-breaking temple-related developments which I found out about a few minutes ago, and which relate to the progress on the Barranquilla Colombia Temple. The new development noted is that, while the tower of that temple continues to receive its cladding, and while progress continues on the ornamental cornice for the temple, palm trees have been planted on the grounds of the temple. This to me suggests that the completion estimate I suggested for that temple (in mid-November or mid-December 2018) may indeed be more likely than the dedication taking place in early 2019. And that is great to think about because there are so many new temples and those that are or will be undergoing the renovation process that are anticipated to be completed during 2019. It has been interesting, to say the least, 
to see how temples have progressed, especially lately. That said, I did want to note that there has not been any  progress noted on the Port-au-Prince Haiti Temple. What we do know is that both the Memphis Tennessee and Oklahoma City Oklahoma Temples are currently being dismantled.

From all of this we see that there has been a wide variety of reported developments in terms of temple progress. That does it for this post. Any comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in all that you do.
