Temple Construction Progress Update for Early February 2022

Hello again, everyone! As I mentioned in a recent comment on this blog, the queue of temples under construction has seen a dramatic shift. That in turn has changed the estimates within which those temples are anticipated to be completed. The nature of the adjustments has required a complete overhaul to my temple construction progress report. Aside from the changes, which I hope are relatively self-explanatory, I wanted to note that, in view of the unpredictable nature of COVID-19, as of today, I have eliminated any specific estimates for temple dedications, rededications, or groundbreakings and have opted for more general estimates.

Hopefully the Church's temple construction will not be as delayed as I have outlined in this newest report. But I wanted to be safe instead of sorry. The Church is doing a great job of monitoring and adjusting to the varying factors relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, which I anticipate may be the case going forward. To the best of my ability, I remain committed to tracking all such developments and passing word of those along to you all 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. 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.

BREAKING TEMPLE NEWS: Groundbreakings Set for the Farmington New Mexico and Lindon Utah Temples

Hello again, everyone! A short time ago, the Newsroom and the Church News shared an exciting announcement:The second and third temple groundbreakings have been set for 2022. First up will be the Lindon Utah Temple. Elder Kevin W. Pearson, Utah Area President, will preside over that event, which will take place on Saturday April 23. The Lindon Utah Temple was one of six originally announced in October 2020, with a site announcement following two months later, with a rendering added to that announcement roughly six months later, As we also know, it has been previously confirmed that the Lindon Utah Temple will feature two baptistries.

The Farmington New Mexico Temple groundbreaking will occur on Saturday April 30, under the direction of Elder Anthony D. Perkins, who currently serves as the President of the Middle East/Africa North Area, but is a native of the region of Colorado that will also apparently be served by that temple. The temple, originially announced in April 2021, with a site confirmation following in mid-June of that same year, and the release of an exterior rendering following 4 months after that.

I received information late yesterday indicating that the Farming temple might have a groundbreaking sooner than I expected, but I was not able to confirm the details at that time. That being said, I do think this marks the beginning of a string of temple groundbreakings which could soon be announced. Among the next to have a groundbreaking are likely the Elko Nevada and Belo Horizonte Brazil Temples, along with several other temples in the United States, and perhaps also the Bahia Blanca Argentina Temple.

Whenever those announcements are made, I will be sure to pass word of those along to you all here. I am also monitoring all Church news updates and any other temple construction developments, and will likewise be sure to pass those along 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.

BREAKING TEMPLE NEWS: First Presidency Extends Washington D..C. Temple Open House; Pushes Back Rededication

 Hello again, everyone! Breaking news has been reported in a statement from the Temple Department, which was also shared by the Church News. Due to widespread interest in the reopening of the Washington D.C. Temple, the open house will still begin on Thursday April 28, but rather than concluding on Saturday June 4, it will be extended as needed to allow all who want to see it the opportunity to do so. The determination about the end date of the open house will be made later.

As a result of this adjustment, the temple's rededication, originally set for Sunday June 19, has been reschuedled to Sunday August 14. I am grateful for this inspired change. It means that some of the smaller temples, like Quito Ecuador, Praia Cabo Verde, Belem Brazil, and perhaps even Helena Montana, could be dedicated prior to this new rededication date for the Washington D.C. Temple. 

It will be interesting to see how all of that turns out. I continue to monitor all Church news updates and temple developments, and will be sure to pass those along to you all here 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.
