Construction of the Cody Wyoming Temple will focus on the interior during the winter months, as the asphalt plant has closed for the winter, and temperatures have dipped too low for laying sod and planting vegetation. The temple will serve Church members living in Northwest Wyoming who currently belong to the Billings Montana Temple district. The temple has been under construction for over 14 months.

The footings and foundations for the Vancouver Washington Temple are taking shape. Concrete has been poured and cured for the walls of the basement and baptismal font basin, while several footings for the main level have been installed. The rest of the footings are expected to be poured early next week. Once the basement walls have been waterproofed, they will be backfilled.

The monument sign for the Fort Worth Texas Temple has been completed, including the installation of coping stones on the top and the painting of the lettering. Shiny gold doors have been installed at the entrance beneath an arched transom window and ornamental ironwork. The temple grounds continue to take shape with the installation of pavers, lamp posts, and picket panels, and the planting of bushes and ornamental grasses.

WOOD TV8 recently sat down with Neal Buckwalter, president of the Grand Rapids Michigan Stake, to discuss the Grand Rapids Michigan Temple, which has been under construction in the community for the past year. "To see the progress of the temple move forward has been exciting," he said. "[Y]ou see the facade, the outside going up, and things happening on the inside as well. It’s just a wonderful time to see this very special building going into construction for us."
