The temple will serve several more stakes from the surrounding region.

Crews are getting closer to fully enclosing the interior of the Teton River Idaho Temple, located on the north end of Rexburg. Sheathing boards cover the majority of the exterior with the exception of a few openings where large equipment and materials can be passed through. Windows have been installed in many of the rough openings, and plastic sheeting has been fitted to others. The work of installing the exterior cladding is underway and will continue for many months.

The construction of reinforced concrete foundation walls for the Lone Mountain Nevada Temple is an important step in establishing a strong structural base for the sacred building. Crews carefully excavated and prepared the site before placing the reinforcing steel and pouring the concrete. The walls are precisely engineered to support the weight of the structure and to withstand the desert soil conditions and temperature variations common in the Las Vegas valley.
