HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"I should not like to contemplate an existence, especially one that is going to continue forever, if I could not enjoy that existence with those whom I love. And so we build temples in the name of the Lord."
—Hugh B. Brown

Steeple Sheathing Added to the Budapest Hungary Temple

Set against the wooded hills of Budapest, construction of the Budapest Hungary Temple is advancing. Crews have added sheathing to the steeple frame, giving the tower greater definition as it rises above the temple roofline. The temple’s reinforced concrete structural walls are in place, establishing the form of the sacred edifice. With two cranes serving the site, work continues on the temple structure.

Scaffolding Removed from the Kaohsiung Taiwan Temple Steeple

Following the removal of its scaffolding, the completed steeple of the Kaohsiung Taiwan Temple rises prominently above the construction site, exhibiting its light-colored stone cladding and ornamental grilles. Scaffolding and green debris netting remain around the main body of the temple as crews complete the exterior finishes. Additional cladding panels are staged around the property as exterior work progresses on the temple and ancillary buildings.

Landscaping Takes Root at the Teton River Idaho Temple

Freshly planted trees and expanses of new sod are beginning to transform the grounds in front of the Teton River Idaho Temple. Crews planted trees earlier this month and, on September 21, laid sod around them, establishing the first elements of the temple’s future landscaping. Work on the grounds is progressing alongside construction of the temple and other buildings planned for the 16.6-acre property, including a stake center.

Preliminary Site Work Advances for the Lehi Utah Temple

Crews are pouring the final curbing around the parking areas at the Lehi Utah Temple site, bringing the property closer to receiving its first layer of asphalt. The paving will establish access and staging areas in preparation for construction of the meetinghouse and temple. At the front of the property, forms are being removed from a large retaining wall that will support a future viewing area overlooking the valley and Utah Lake.
