Hello again, everyone! I am back again with my fifth and final post in this mini-series which has shared the temple progress made during this second quarter of 2019. This post, which serves as a capstone to that coverage, will share the two different versions of the "Announced Temples" section of my report, the first one as it was on April 1, and the second as it is today. The information, which speaks for itself, follows below. In order to not disturb the flow of that information, I
will end here as I always do:
That does it for now. Any and all comments are,
as always, welcome and appreciated, on any post at any time, as long as such
feedback is in compliance with the established guidelines. Thank you for the
privilege of your time. If you enjoyed what you read here and would like to
stay informed of newly added content, please feel free to subscribe. Until my
next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will
bless you all in everything you do.
April 1, 2019.
Note on announced temples: During
2019, I again reevaluated the information I had available, and made further
adjustments to this section following the completion of the revision process
for the “Groundbreaking anticipated” section. The following estimates represent
my best efforts to predict the timing for the future groundbreaking of each of
these temples based on what I currently know about them.
Announced Temples (for which more
information is needed before I provide a groundbreaking estimate):
189. Layton
Utah Temple: Planning and approval phase; awaiting official site announcement.
Note:
A potential site has already been identified (though not yet confirmed) for
this temple.
190. Belem
Brazil Temple: Planning and approval phase; awaiting official site announcement.
Note:
On March 7, 2019, based on the unexpected timing whereby groundbreakings were
announced for the Quito Ecuador and Lima Peru Los Olivos Temples, and given the
anticipated timing for the groundbreaking of the Harare Zimbabwe Temple, the
Belem Brazil Temple is the only other one announced in April 2016 that is not
yet close to a groundbreaking. And since President Nelson has given some
priority to the “oldest” among the announced temples, I am hoping the Lord will
similarly surprise us with word on this temple’s site and groundbreaking in the
not-too-distant future.
191. Managua
Nicaragua Temple: Planning and approval phase; awaiting official site
announcement.
Note:
I found out several years ago that the Church had held land in reserve for a
temple in this city for a while now, so I hope that means a site confirmation
will occur sooner rather than later.
192. Bengaluru
India Temple: Planning and approval phase; announced April 1, 2018; awaiting
official site announcement; President Nelson toured potential locations on
April 19, 2018.
193. Auckland New Zealand Temple: Planning and
approval phase; awaiting official site announcement.
Note:
I found out several years ago that the Church had held land in reserve for a
temple in this city for a while now (with that fact confirmed by a Church
member living in that area), so I hope that means a site confirmation will
occur sooner rather than later.
194. Phnom
Penh Cambodia Temple: Planning and approval phase; awaiting official site
announcement; groundbreaking could occur in mid-2020.
Note: A potential site has been identified (though
not yet confirmed) for this temple.
195. Yuba
City, California Temple: Planning and approval phase; awaiting official site
announcement.
Note: A potential site has been identified (though
not yet confirmed) for this temple.
196.
Washington County Utah Temple: Planning and approval phase; awaiting official
city (and site) announcement.
197. Salvador
Brazil Temple: Planning and approval phase; awaiting official site
announcement.
198. Lagos
Nigeria Temple: Planning and approval phase; awaiting official site

June 30, 2019:
Note on announced temples: During
2019, I had reasons to repeatedly reevaluate the information I had available,
and made further adjustments to this section following the completion of the
revision process for the “Groundbreaking anticipated” section. I have felt that
more information is needed on each of these temples before I offer any kind of
estimate for their groundbreaking ceremonies. But as such information is made
available, I will be sure to make further alterations to this section as
needed.
