HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"We must build more temples, and we must build them more quickly. This is the season to build temples. They are needed, and we have the means to do so. The Lord will hold us accountable if we do not work with greater accomplishment than we are now doing."
—Gordon B. Hinckley

Planting Trees on the Ribeirão Preto Brazil Temple Grounds

A variety of trees are being established on the grounds of the Ribeirão Preto Brazil Temple, which will will offer shade, color, and a welcoming refuge for those visiting the sacred site. Gravel is being laid and compacted as a sub-base layer for the parking areas, while cladding of the temple exterior is working its way toward the tower. Construction of the beautiful temple and ancillary building has been underway for 17 months.

Preparing to Install the Modules for the Tarawa Kiribati Temple

Concrete footings have been poured and cured for the foundation of the Tarawa Kiribati Temple. On top of those footings are anchor plates, which will be used to secure the prefabricated modules to the foundation. Shipments of the modules, which were manufactured in Mexico, have begun to arrive at the Port of Betio. Church membership continues to grow in Kiribati where there are now four stakes on the Tarawa Atoll and two districts in more distant island groups.
