With the structural walls in place for the ground floor of the Lethbridge Alberta Temple, the floor slab for the second story has been poured, and the concrete is curing under yellow-and-green-striped tarps. Concrete forms and reinforcing steel bar are staged on site, ready to be used for building the second-story exterior walls. The temple is rising across the street from a massive sports facility that houses an aquatics centre, fitness centre, two ice arenas, and a curling club.

A flatbed trailer on the grounds of the Querétaro Mexico Temple holds a precast concrete panel that will soon be hung over the opening for the temple's main entrance doors. The front portico is the last section of the main body of the building to be clad. Work will then progress toward the tower. Four ball-shaped pinnacles have been added to the parapet, which will coordinate with the metal finial planned for the top of the tower.

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.

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.
