The concrete foundation for the Santa Cruz Bolivia Temple has been installed, and forming has begun for the exterior walls. In the country of Bolivia, there is currently one dedicated temple located in the country's third largest city of Cochabamba, which was selected for its central location between the two largest cities of La Paz and Santa Cruz. Now, all three cities will now be blessed temples. An exterior rendering has been released for the La Paz Bolivia Temple, but no groundbreaking date has been announced.

Art glass windows have been installed in several rooms of the Lindon Utah Temple including the instruction rooms and celestial room. The windows feature depictions of the linden tree with their beautiful leaves, buds, and blossoms. With cladding of the main body of the temple nearing completion, scaffolding has been erected around both steeples, which will also be clad in stone panels. On the grounds, the flag pole has been installed, and landscaping is progressing.

The handsome steeple of the Neiafu Tonga Temple is wrapped in scaffolding, giving crews access to the lofty structure. Moldings are being attached above and below the steeple housing while the exterior walls of the temple are being prepared for ornamental panels that will be featured under the eaves, around the windows, and over the arched entry. Hardscaping of the grounds continues.

Church representatives are gathering information on environmental impacts to support a zoning modification application that would accommodate the proposed height of the Bakersfield California Temple. A group of nearby residents support the temple but disagree with the height and lighting of the tower. An open house for neighbors was held in July, and neighbors met again last week where various renderings of the temple were presented. The decision of whether to grant the proposed zoning modification will go before the Bakersfield Planning Commission, but a date has not yet been scheduled. Church growth continues in the Bakersfield area where a fourth stake was created last month.
