The next temple anticipated to be completed in the state of Utah is the stunning Syracuse Utah Temple, located west of Layton between the Great Salt Lake and Interstate 15. The monument sign sits in a flowerbed located directly east of the main entrance next to 2500 West. The exterior stonework and art glass installation have been completed, and work continues on the landscaping of the grounds. No open house and dedication dates have been announced, but construction is expected to be completed this year.

Beautiful panes of stained glass are being installed in the steeple of the Port Moresby Papua New Guinea Temple. Papua New Guinea is the most populated Pacific island country where members of the Church are organized into 3 stakes and 11 districts. They currently belong to the Suva Fiji Temple district, requiring a great amount of time and expense to attend the temple. Construction has been underway for 20 months.

In 2024, plans were announced for 32 new temples, groundbreakings were held for 14 temples, and dedications were held for 16 temples including the Lima Peru Los Olivos Temple, the Orem Utah Temple, the Red Cliffs Utah Temple, the Urdaneta Philippines Temple, the Puebla Mexico Temple, the Taylorsville Utah Temple, the Cobán Guatemala Temple, the Salta Argentina Temple, the Layton Utah Temple, the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Temple, the Mendoza Argentina Temple, the San Pedro Sula Honduras Temple, the Salvador Brazil Temple, the Deseret Peak Utah Temple, the Casper Wyoming Temple, and the Tallahassee Florida Temple (pictured here). The Manti Utah Temple was also rededicated.

The nearly completed Grand Junction Colorado Temple shines brightly under the dark of night. The Apostle Paul taught: "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for…what communion hath light with darkness?…And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people" (2 Corinthians 6:14,16).
