HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"I urge our people everywhere, with all of the persuasiveness of which I am capable, to live worthy to hold a temple recommend, to secure one and regard it as a precious asset, and to make a greater effort to go to the House of the Lord and partake of the spirit and the blessings to be had therein."
—Gordon B. Hinckley

Stone Cladding of the Fort Worth Texas Temple Begins

The first pieces of stone cladding have been secured to a corner of the Fort Worth Texas Temple. Once the steel frame for the temple was erected, green sheathing boards were fastened to the exterior. The boards are weatherproofed before metal brackets are attached to the walls for hanging the stone panels. Frames are being installed in the arched window openings.

Monument Sign Panels Installed on the Elko Nevada Temple Grounds

The inscribed panels for the monument sign of the Elko Nevada Temple have been installed, and the lettering has been painted in gold, matching the accent color of the spire and ornamental window headers. Members in Northeastern Nevada have traveled to the Salt Lake Valley to participate in temple ordinances for many years. They look forward with great anticipation to the temple's completion, but no open house or dedication dates have been announced yet.

Landscaping the Farmington New Mexico Temple Grounds

A recent aerial photograph of the Farmington New Mexico Temple shows the landscaping progress being made on the beautiful temple grounds. The concrete core for the monument sign sits at the intersection of Windsor Drive and College Boulevard. The arched sign in foreground is new signage that has been installed at the entrance to the main Farmington campus of San Juan College.

Hillside View of the Belo Horizonte Brazil Temple

Standing on the hill west of the Belo Horizonte Brazil Temple provides a spectacular view of both the natural landscape and expansive cityscape that stretches into the distance to the east. Scaffolds run across the front of the west-facing temple where the work of stone cladding continues. There are currently ten dedicated temples in Brazil. The eleventh will be dedicated in two weeks, and three others are under construction. Nine more temples are in the planning stages.
