HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"Clearly, when we baptize, our eyes should gaze beyond the baptismal font to the holy temple. The great garner into which the sheaves should be gathered is the holy temple."
—Neal A. Maxwell

Teton River Idaho Temple Rises Above Surrounding Pastureland

The Teton River Idaho Temple continues to take shape in the countryside north of Rexburg, where grazing cattle create a calming foreground to the rising structure. Stone cladding is advancing on the steeple as well as the north and east elevations of the building, further defining the temple's exterior appearance. The contrast between the active construction site and the quiet pastureland emphasizes the prominence of this house of the Lord within the rural landscape.

Building Another Retaining Structure at the Lehi Utah Temple Site

Site development continues at the Lehi Utah Temple site, where work has begun on constructing an additional retaining wall. Since the meetinghouse and temple will occupy different elevations on the property, the retaining structure will help create level building pads for each facility while providing separation between the two grounds. Earthwork and grading activities remain ongoing as crews prepare the property for future construction of the buildings.

One-Year GroundBreaking Anniversary of the Natal Brazil Temple

Just over a year has passed since construction began on the Natal Brazil Temple, and significant progress is visible across the site. The structural frames for both the temple and steeple have been erected, and installation of the exterior stone cladding is underway, supported by the scaffolding and blue safety netting that surrounds various elevations of the structure. On the grounds, hardscape installation is progressing.

Lean Concrete Slab Poured for the Heber Valley Utah Temple

Foundation work is advancing at the Heber Valley Utah Temple site, where crews have installed an extensive network of underground plumbing beneath a lean concrete slab. The plumbing infrastructure will support the temple’s future mechanical and drainage systems before structural foundations are installed. The slab provides a clean, stable working surface that will facilitate ongoing construction.
