Emerging above the Natal Brazil Temple, the steel framing for the central steeple is beginning to take shape, while masons continue to secure stone panels to the exterior walls of the building. Hardscape work is progressing across the grounds with the installation of planters, walkways, and a staircase located directly behind the temple. Permanent fencing has also been installed around the perimeter of the property.

Concrete floor slabs have been poured for each level of the Vancouver Washington Temple, including the first and second floors, as well as the mechanical level. On the exterior, steel studs are being attached to the structural beams and columns to frame the exterior walls. At the northeast corner of the building, a staircase has been installed, while crews continue to prepare the parking areas to be paved with a layer of asphalt.

Construction is progressing at the João Pessoa Brazil Temple site where perimeter fencing has been installed, trailers have been set in place, reinforcing steel has been staged, and heavy equipment is at work. Dozens of cylindrical piles have been installed in the ground to support the future concrete foundation of the temple. Construction has been underway for nearly two months.

Members of the Viña del Mar Ward gathered in December for a photograph in front of their meetinghouse, which has now been closed in preparation for construction of the Viña del Mar Chile Temple. The house of the Lord will rise on the 1.87-acre property where the meetinghouse currently stands, allowing for demolition to move forward. The ward has been relocated to the Agua Santa chapel.
