Elder Ronald A. Rasband of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles dedicated the Ephraim Utah Temple on Sunday, October 11, 2026. "The community of Ephraim and those in this temple district will never be the same because of this holy house of God," he said. His own great-great-grandparents settled in Ephraim in 1850 after leaving a prosperous farm in Denmark. In an interview before the dedication, he said the temple will give Snow College students opportunities to participate in the gathering of Israel as they serve missions and serve in the temple.

A gold-leafed statue of the angel Moroni has been installed atop the main spire of the Stockholm Sweden Temple, marking a significant milestone in the reconstruction of the temple. The statue was attached to the tip of the spire and carefully lifted into position by crane. The temple’s familiar profile continues to take shape as work advances on the the exterior finishes and the six detached spires that surround the building.

Elder B. Corey Cuvelier, a counselor in the Brazil Area Presidency, presided over the groundbreaking ceremony for the Maceió Brazil Temple on Saturday, October 10, 2026. During the dedicatory prayer, he said, "We pray that this will be a place of inspiration and revelation, where all may feel Thy power and grow up in Thee. May this house, as it rises and when it is finished, be as a light set upon a hill, that all who behold it may feel of Thy love and be filled with purpose." Brazil currently has twelve dedicated temples and twelve more announced or under construction.

The reinforced concrete walls for the basement of the Heber Valley Utah Temple are taking shape, with large sections of the below-grade structure now poured and cured. Work continues across the basement floor, where construction materials, formwork, and equipment are staged around the emerging structure. The extensive excavation surrounding the foundation provides access for crews who are advancing the temple's below-grade construction.
