Cladding the Steeple of the Ephraim Utah Temple

Scaffolding surrounds the main steeple of the Ephraim Utah Temple where the work of installing stone cladding is currently focused. The south side of the temple and a portion of the west side have already been completed. The Sanpete Valley was settled in the mid-1800s largely by Scandinavian converts to the Church who built small adobe houses in the style of their homeland. A Scandinavian festival is still held annually in Ephraim.

Beautiful Farm Land Surrounding the Bacolod Philippines Temple

With the main body of the Bacolod Philippines Temple clad in stone, work is now moving up the central steeple. The temple is located on the northeastern edge of the city where farm land is abundant. Sugarcane plantations are a typical sight along highways, as thousands of acres are dedicated to its production. Other common crops include rice, coconuts, bananas, and a variety of vegetables.
