A major milestone has been reached at the Fairbanks Alaska Temple with the installation of the spire and finial atop the central tower, completing the steeple's distinctive silhouette. Meanwhile, exterior cladding is progressing across the building, as work advances toward completion. Fully enclosing the temple was a priority ahead of the winter season. A building wrap is being applied to the wood sheathing of the ancillary building where a distribution center, waiting area, and restrooms will be housed.

The tower of the Santiago West Chile Temple is nearing completion, with exterior cladding extending to the top and art-glass windows in place. Crews are preparing to install the domed cupola that will crown the structure, marking a major milestone in the temple's exterior construction. Landscaping of the grounds continues including the planting of deciduous trees on the property.

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.

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.
