The cupola has been installed atop the steeple of the Santiago West Chile Temple, marking an important milestone in the construction of Santiago's second house of the Lord. Exterior construction is nearing completion, with the stone cladding now in place. Along the perimeter of the property, preparations are underway to landscape the strip between the public sidewalk and the landscape curbing, further enhancing the temple grounds.

Architectural lighting has been added along the base of the upper tier of the Teton River Idaho Temple steeple, illuminating the elegant architectural features of the towering structure. Installation of the exterior cladding is drawing closer to completion, revealing more of the temple's finished design. Meanwhile, landscaping is advancing around the property, further enhancing the temple's setting in northern Rexburg.

At the Cali Colombia Temple, significant progress is being made on the installation of exterior stone cladding, adding distinctive window surrounds, cornices, pilasters, and other architectural details. Around the property, installation of the permanent fence is also progressing, establishing a defined perimeter around the temple grounds. Meanwhile, palm trees are being planted as soft landscaping gets underway.

Elder K. Brett Nattress, General Authority Seventy and Assistant Executive Director of the Church’s Temple Department, welcomed journalists to the Pago Pago American Samoa Temple for a special preview on Monday, November 2, 2026. The public is invited to tour the temple from Wednesday, November 4, through Saturday, November 21, 2026. The temple’s design reflects American Samoa's culture and natural environment. Interior patterns draw inspiration from the red ginger plant, traditional Samoan weaving and carving, and decorative designs familiar in island architecture. Greens and gold tones reflect the island’s vegetation and the colors of the sunrise and sunset.
