Exterior cladding of the Santiago West Chile Temple is progressing steadily, covering much of the main body of the temple and soon moving up the steel frame for the tiered tower. Framing is in place for the roof of the ancillary building, which will support the function of the temple. This house of the Lord will relieve demands on the Santiago Chile Temple, which currently serves 48 stakes and 5 districts.

A rock garden strip has been added along the frontage road where the Bacolod Philippines Temple stands. The exquisitely designed temple spans 2,480 square meters (26,700 square feet) and features a domed cupola with metallic diamond shingles, backlit art glass, decorative urns, deep cornices, subtle curves, and ornate window casings. It will be the sixth temple dedicated in the Philippines, but no dates have been announced yet for the open house and dedication.

The worn sidewalks bordering the Torreón Mexico Temple site have been replaced with fresh concrete, including a new planting strip for trees. With a permanent ornamental fence in place, the metal sheeting that surrounded the property has been removed and replaced with a plastic privacy screen. The metallic cupola planned for the tower has not yet been installed. Construction began three years ago and is expected to be completed next year.

The Miraflores Guatemala City Guatemala Temple is gloriously accentuated at night by an architectural lighting system that highlights the stone façade and exquisite craftsmanship of the sacred structure. Subtle uplighting emphasizes the vertical elements of the design, lifting the eyes of onlookers heavenward. The temple stands as a radiant landmark for the surrounding neighborhoods. No dates have been announced yet for the open house and dedication.
