Church members in American Samoa look forward to the completion of the first temple to be constructed in the territory—the Pago Pago American Samoa Temple. The edifice is rising on the main island of Tutuila where the majority of the approximately 47,400 residents live. Beautiful rainforests cover 90 percent of the land, and the vast majority of inhabitants are indigenous ethnic Samoans who are fluent in both English and Samoan.

The front concrete walls of the Bengaluru India Temple are being installed, forming the openings for the seven columns of windows that will beautify the facade of this multistory house of the Lord. The front portico has been framed, which sits below the protruding center section. Construction of the temple complex has been underway for approximately three-and-a-half years.

Steel framing for the scalloped parapets that rise over each side of the Fort Worth Texas Temple are being installed. The beautiful Mission-style building is being erected in the Fort Worth suburb of Burleson where construction began nine months ago. The temple will be the second constructed in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, bringing the blessings of temple worship closer to members living southwest of Dallas.

A field of healthy green crops stretches southwest of the Smithfield Utah Temple in Northern Utah's fertile Cache Valley. The gorgeous cupola for the main steeple was installed a month ago, featuring inconspicuous light fixtures that protrude from the base of the lantern. Highly ornamented stonework continues to be hung on the exterior walls while work progresses on the interior.
