The lower tiers of the Miraflores Guatemala City Guatemala Temple steeple has been clad in stone, and work is well underway on the top tier. A few portions of the parapet also remain to be clad. Clear glass and muntin bars have been installed in the window openings, which will later be fitted with art glass. The beautiful temple has been under construction for the past 37 months.

Winter weather has brought cold temperatures and snow to the Cleveland Ohio Temple site, but the resilient crews adapt to the conditions and soldier on in their construction efforts. Precast panels continue to be secured to the exterior, and finish work is getting underway on the interior. A 2,200-square-foot ancillary building will also be constructed on site, providing a waiting area, restrooms, and storage.

A new observation platform has been created on the property adjacent to the Belo Horizonte Brazil Temple grounds, providing better views of the ongoing construction process. Due to the steep slope of the grounds, numerous retaining walls have been installed to create a more level surface for the immediate area where the temple, ancillary building, and parking are located.

The floor slab and many of the walls have been installed for the basement level of the Austin Texas Temple. Rebar has been set for the reinforced concrete that will support the baptismal font. Plumbing trenches are being backfilled, and forming for the footings of the main floor structure will begin shortly. Construction of the temple has been underway for almost five months.
