Also, 2 of the new temple presidents called to sere in Mexico temples currently live in Puebla, which I thought was an interesting coincidence. given that a temple for Puebla was announced last October in General Conference. There were 3 of those 16 new temple presidents whose calls I had not anticipated. The new Suva Fiji Temple president succeds a man who has only served for one year, and the new presidents of the Paris France and Calgary Alberta Temples succeed presidents who have only served for 2 years each.
The total number of new temple presidents which have been announced thus far this year is now 33. In addition to the 4 new temples for which the first presidents may be called later this year, there are 35 other operating temples whose current presidents have served for 3 or more years. The combined total on this year's list is thus now 72, which is roughly 34% of the total number of temples in any phase (209). That said, the latest copy of that list follows below.
In order to not disturb the flow of that information, I will end here and now as I always do: That does it for this post.
