HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"You are never lost when you can see the temple. The temple will provide direction for you and your family in a world filled with chaos. It is an eternal guidepost which will help you from getting lost in the 'mist of darkness.'"
—Gary E. Stevenson

Adding the Portico Panels to the Querétaro Mexico Temple

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.

Exterior Cladding Progress at the Teton River Idaho Temple

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.

A Tale of Two Temples in Anchorage, Alaska

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.

Setting Sun Casts a Glow Over the Torreón Mexico Temple

The setting sun illuminates the rugged mountains west of the city of Gomez Palacio, casting a golden glow across the valley and catching the edges of the Torreón Mexico Temple. Construction of the edifice is in the final stages with the most notable absent elements being the art glass and cupola for the tower. The temple was recently featured in a news article published by the local media outlet Reporte Laguna.
