Installation of stone cladding on the exterior of the Austin Texas Temple has reached the front of the building including the entrance portico. Waterproofing work is underway on the sheathing surrounding the tower, with scaffolding providing access for crews who continue to work on the structure. West of the temple, wood forms and reinforcing steel bars have been installed in preparation for pouring the concrete parking lot.

Vertical construction of the Jacksonville Florida Temple has begun, with crews erecting the structural steel frame above the completed foundation. A large crane is assisting crews with lifting and positioning the heavy steel members as the temple begins to rise. Site work also continues around the temple, including the installation of permanent fencing, curbs, sidewalks, utilities, and other infrastructure.

Following the devastating earthquake in Colombia, crews from the Cali Colombia Temple assisted at sites where buildings had collapsed in the city. "The Church is working in coordination with government agencies and other organizations to provide all the assistance and support needed for those affected [by the recent earthquake]," said the South America Northwest Area Presidency in a statement. The temple and its ancillary building were thoroughly inspected following the earthquake, and both structures were found to have sustained no damage.

The Twin Falls Idaho Temple is currently closed for extended maintenance to accommodate minor renovations. As part of the project, several stained-glass windows have been removed, and the openings have been boarded over during the refurbishment. The maintenance is expected to be completed over the next two months, with the temple scheduled to reopen on Tuesday, October 6.
