Enclosing the Exterior of the Winchester Virginia Temple

Crews continue to enclose the structural frame of the Winchester Virginia Temple with yellow sheathing panels coated in a dark waterproofing sealant. The sheathing now covers much of the exterior, giving the temple a more recognizable appearance. Rough window openings are gradually being covered while interior framing continues to advance. Site grading and utility work is also ongoing around the building.

Elder Gong Dedicates the New Nauvoo Temple Visitors' Center

Elder Gerrit W. Gong of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles dedicated the new Nauvoo Temple Visitors’ Center today on the 182nd anniversary of the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum Smith, who were killed in Carthage, Illinois, on June 27, 1844. "Nauvoo is central to our history — to our past, to our present, to our future," said Elder Gong. The visitors’ center, located at 155 Wells Street, has a view of the Nauvoo Illinois Temple and features a Tiffany stained-glass window of Jesus Christ. It will operate Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. starting Monday. Admission is free.

Construction of the Wellington New Zealand Temple Goes Vertical

Vertical construction is underway at the Wellington New Zealand Temple site, where heavy steel beams and columns are rising above the completed foundation. A truck-mounted telescoping crane is used to lift and position the steel as the structural frame takes shape. The temple is situated on the elevated eastern portion of the property, which slopes down toward street level. The mature trees surrounding the site create a beautiful, natural setting for the sacred structure.

Tacloban City Philippines Temple Foundation Taking Shape

Plans for the site also include an ancillary building that will house an arrival center, patron housing, and a distribution center. It has been more than 17 months since the temple's groundbreaking ceremony.
