THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"In addition to temples, surely another holy place on earth ought to be our homes. The feelings of holiness in my home prepared me for feelings of holiness in the temple."
—James E. Faust

Missoula Montana Temple Foundation Work Progresses

Foundation work is progressing at the Missoula Montana Temple site, where concrete walls have been added to the structural steel framework at the center of the building. This area will house the baptismal font in a recessed, basement-level space, allowing the top of the font to align with the main floor. Elsewhere on the site, work continues on installing the footings that will support the main floor walls, establishing the foundation for the next stages of construction.

Kona Hawaii Temple Exterior and Landscaping Progress

The exterior cladding of the Kona Hawaii Temple is virtually complete, featuring symmetrical window arrangements, decorative pilasters, and a prominent front entrance. Work is progressing on the surrounding retaining walls, where a lava rock finish is being installed, incorporating the island's distinctive volcanic stone into the temple grounds. Scaffolding remains around the upper portion of the central tower, which will be topped with a metallic cupola.
