HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"Each temple building is an inspiration, magnificent and beautiful in every way, but the temple building alone does not bless. The endowed blessings and divine functions—come through obedience and faithfulness to priesthood authority and covenants made."
—James E. Faust

Tarawa Kiribati Temple Steeple Marks the Skyline

The recently mounted steeple frame atop the Tarawa Kiribati Temple has established the framework for the building's single tower. Exterior cladding panels will enclose the structure, which will be topped with a golden spire. Located on South Tarawa across from the Kiribati House of Parliament, the temple will serve Church members scattered throughout the islands and atolls of the vast central Pacific region.

Londrina Brazil Temple Construction Nearing Completion

The Londrina Brazil Temple is beautifully illuminated against the night sky, highlighting the completed exterior, tall central spire, and landscaped grounds. Exterior lighting accentuates the temple's architectural features and stained-glass windows, while pathway lights trace the curved walkways around the building. The surrounding grounds feature manicured lawns, young palm trees, and planted areas, with circular plazas complementing the network of walkways. The parking lot has also been paved and striped, bringing the site's exterior improvements closer to completion.

Crews are pouring curbs along the roadway, while work continues on the adjacent meetinghouse. Since construction began just over a year ago, the temple has steadily taken shape, forming a beautiful new landmark in northwest Las Vegas.
