Visible improvements are taking shape across the grounds of the Freetown Sierra Leone Temple, where the monument sign has been installed in the landscaped strip across from the main entrance. Royal palm trees have been planted along the strip and elsewhere on the property, while flowerbeds are being filled with hundreds of plantings. These developments mark a transition from structural work to interior finishing and site beautification.

A temporary visitors’ center is now open at the Kona Hawaii Temple site, offering Church members, community residents, and island visitors an opportunity to learn more about the temple and its construction progress. Much of the temple exterior has been clad in stone, and crews have begun work on the surrounding hardscape. Current activities include excavation, layout work with chalk lines, and installation of new fencing. A concrete pump truck is stationed in the cul-de-sac to support the efforts.

Site preparation is underway for the Colorado Springs Colorado Temple, marking the first visible phase of development on the property. Crews are actively clearing and grading the site with heavy equipment, creating a more uniform surface in preparation for construction. Once the preliminary work has been completed, the date for a groundbreaking ceremony will be announced.

With stone cladding now covering much of the north elevation of the Teton River Idaho Temple, installation efforts have shifted to the east side, including the front portico. On the west side, framing is in place for the rear portico, where those who have been sealed will exit to greet family and friends. Cladding has also been installed on several sections of the tower, further advancing the exterior finish of Rexburg's second temple.
