A jobsite trailer with an observation deck has been set up at the Tacloban City Philippines Temple site where visitors can watch the construction progress and ask questions of the missionary couple. The groundbreaking for the temple was held almost 10 months ago, and work has been progressing on establishing the foundation. The temple will serve members on the Filipino island of Leyte.

Work has begun on forming the footings and foundations for the Vancouver Washington Temple. Reinforcing steel has been placed for the basement footings, and excavation has been carried out for the main floor footings. The old section of Bybee Road that ran next to the temple has been removed. On the west side of the property, landscaping and earthworks continue including the construction of retaining structures.

Corrugated metal roofing has been installed on the Cagayan de Oro Philippines Temple, and damp proofing of the exterior sheathing is underway. Behind the temple, the structural walls have been erected for the two-story ancillary building, and installation of the roof trusses has begun. The building will house an arrival center, patron housing, and distribution center. Construction on the project began 14 months ago.

The construction fence along Washington Street in front of the Montpelier Idaho Temple has been relocated behind the sidewalk, restoring access to pedestrians. The lettering on the monument sign and Holiness to the Lord panel at the top of the portico has been painted, and the parking lot has been recently paved, striped, and posted with signage, while finish work continues on the interior.
