On the south side of the Lethbridge Alberta Temple, the first structural walls and columns are being installed. To build these load-bearing structures, reinforcing steel bars are placed inside concrete forms, which hold the liquid concrete in place. After the concrete mixture has been poured, the forms are covered with tarps to ensure that proper temperatures are maintained for optimal curing. The temple is the fourth to be constructed in the province of Alberta.

The structural frame for the steeple of the Kona Hawaii Temple has been secured to the top of the building, and backing has been added to the top of the window openings where ornamented headers will be installed. Rocks decorated by local Primary children and their families are being delivered to the construction site. They will be incorporated into the foundations for the entrance hardscape including the terraced fountain.

Over the opening for the front door of the Cali Colombia Temple, steel framing has been added for the entrance portico, which will feature an arched opening flanked by pilasters and topped with architectural moldings and embellishments. The support frame for the domed cupola has been secured to the top of the steeple frame, and framing for the parapet is progressing. The temple has been under construction for eight months.

With cold temperatures fast approaching in the Upper Midwest, crews at the Grand Rapids Michigan Temple are working to enclose the structure so that work can move forward on the interior during the winter months. Clear glass is being glazed in the window openings, sheathing and damp proofing of the exterior is advancing, and installation of the roof is wrapping up. At the rear of the building, cladding of the walls with granite continues.
