HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"We should expect that the adversary will try to interfere with us as…we seek to participate in this sacred and inspired work. The interference can vary from the terrible persecutions of the earlier days to apathy toward the work. The latter is perhaps the most dangerous and debilitating."
—Boyd K. Packer

Exterior Cladding Progress at the Teton River Idaho Temple

The north face of the Teton River Idaho Temple continues to be covered with granite panels, changing the color of the exterior from a dark brown to a cool gray. On the west side of the building, the structural frame for the front portico has been installed. Located just three-and-a-half miles north of the Rexburg Idaho Temple, the 100,000-square-foot edifice will relieve demands on the city's heavily attended first temple.

A Tale of Two Temples in Anchorage, Alaska

The first reconstructed temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was dedicated in Nauvoo, Illinois, on June 27, 2002. Since that time, other temples have been reconstructed, but the Anchorage Alaska Temple represents another first. It is the first temple to be reconstructed as a new building while the original building remained operational on site. Dedicated in 1999, the Anchorage Alaska Temple continues to operate at the southeast corner of the property from Tuesday through Saturday while the new building is constructed.

Setting Sun Casts a Glow Over the Torreón Mexico Temple

The setting sun illuminates the rugged mountains west of the city of Gomez Palacio, casting a golden glow across the valley and catching the edges of the Torreón Mexico Temple. Construction of the edifice is in the final stages with the most notable absent elements being the art glass and cupola for the tower. The temple was recently featured in a news article published by the local media outlet Reporte Laguna.

The Morning Breaks at the Montpelier Idaho Temple

The sun begins to rise on a crisp winter morning at the Montpelier Idaho Temple, coloring the sky in vibrant orange and purple hues. A work trailer sits in the newly paved and striped parking lot, as finish work progresses on the interior of the beautifully lit house of the Lord. Mild weather conditions allowed landscaping to be carried out late into the fall. Construction has been underway for the past 30 months.
