BREAKING TEMPLE NEWS': First Presidency Releases Official Information about the Ephraim Utah Temple

Hello again, everyone! On this Friday, we have some more breaking temple news. The site location has been confirmed and the preliminary details released for the Ephraim Utah Temple. Plans call for a three-story temple of roughly 39,000 square feet. The temple will rise on a 9.16 acre site located at the intersection of 400 East and 200 North. Although no groundbreaking date has been announced, it's good to see the Church taking this next step on Ephraim.

Regarding temple groundbreakings, information I have informally receieved indicates that as many as 17 temples could have groundbreakings occur within the next 6 months I know of at least four (Farmington New Mexico, Willamette Valley Oregon, Elko Nevada, and Grand Junction Colorado) that could have groundbreakings set to occur by the end of this month or early next month.

For my part, I continue to monitor all of this and will be sure to bring you word of updates as I become aware thereof. In the meantime, 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 comments are made in accordance with the established guidelines. Thank you for the privilege of your time.

BREAKING NEWS: Spontaneous Fire Erupts at Joseph Smith Memorial Building

Hello again, everyone! At the top of the 10:00 PM KSL newscast, a breaking news update was shared regarding a fire that erupted today at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. The KSL news story shared an official Churh statement on the fire was provided by long-time Church spokesperson Brother Eric Hawkins:

"At around 7 this evening, a fire started on the second-floor roof of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. The most likely cause of the fire is from combustible construction materials that ignited on their own.We are grateful for the quick response of emergency personnel, who were able to extinguish the fire and are on site conducting their investigation. We are also grateful that no one was injured in this incident and that property damage is minimal and the building will be operational tomorrow." Just wanted to pass that along here. I continue to monitor any and all Church News updates and reported temple developments and remain committed to bringing word of those to you all as I become aware thereof.
