Grass Added to the Harare Zimbabwe Temple Grounds

The Harare Zimbabwe Temple grounds have been beautified with addition of rich green grass that contrasts beautifully with the temple's light-colored brick exterior. Construction of the temple and its supporting facilities began almost 4 years ago and is drawing closer to completion. It is the first temple to be constructed in the country where members are currently organized into eleven stakes and two districts.

Stained Glass Installed in the Ephraim Utah Temple Tower

Backlighting inside the west tower of the Ephraim Utah Temple illuminates the beautiful geometric shapes and floral details in the stained-glass windows. Over the coming months, more stained glass will be installed in the temple, and stone cladding of the exterior walls will continue. During the cold weather, work will be more focused on the interior, and then landscaping will take off in the spring and summer.

Ancillary Building Roofed at the Querétaro Mexico Temple Site

Reinforced concrete walls are growing taller for the two-story Querétaro Mexico Temple. A tower crane stands at the southeast corner of the temple to lift the concrete forms and bundles of steel that are used to form the building's load-bearing structure. At the rear of the property, the roof deck has been completed for the ancillary building, and portions of the parking areas have been defined.
