Scaffolding surrounds the main steeple of the Ephraim Utah Temple where the work of installing stone cladding is currently focused. The south side of the temple and a portion of the west side have already been completed. The Sanpete Valley was settled in the mid-1800s largely by Scandinavian converts to the Church who built small adobe houses in the style of their homeland. A Scandinavian festival is still held annually in Ephraim.

Crews are making marked progress on installing ornate, cream-colored stone cladding on the exterior walls of the Miraflores Guatemala City Guatemala Temple. The temple is the second to be constructed in Guatemala City, the most populated city in Central America where members are organized into 18 stakes. Guatemala City, known locally as "Gaute," is built on the site of the Mayan city of Kaminaljuyu.

With the main body of the Bacolod Philippines Temple clad in stone, work is now moving up the central steeple. The temple is located on the northeastern edge of the city where farm land is abundant. Sugarcane plantations are a typical sight along highways, as thousands of acres are dedicated to its production. Other common crops include rice, coconuts, bananas, and a variety of vegetables.

The First Presidency has announced that a groundbreaking ceremony for the Tarawa Kiribati Temple will be held on Saturday, November 2, 2024. Elder Jeremy R. Jaggi, Second Counselor in the Pacific Area Presidency, will preside at the event. The temple will be constructed on a 0.8-acre site located across from the Kiribati House of Parliament. Plans call for a single-story temple of approximately 10,000 square feet. Ancillary facilities, including a meetinghouse and patron housing facility, will be located about a quarter mile west of the temple site.
