The Wellington New Zealand Temple is taking shape on a prominent hillside in the beautiful harbor city of Porirua. Scaffolding draped in white protective sheeting surrounds much of the building as exterior work progresses. Structural framing remains visible along portions of the upper level, while construction activity continues around the base of the temple. The sloping terrain and surrounding natural landscape contribute to the distinctive character of the property.

Heavy steel framing continues to take shape at the Jacksonville Florida Temple, with beams and columns outlining the building's structure. On top of the temple, sections of corrugated metal decking have been installed for the future roof. Along the perimeter of the property, landscaping is progressing, with rows of young ornamental plants and grass sod being established beside the black metal fence and concrete sidewalk.

A major milestone has been reached at the Fairbanks Alaska Temple with the installation of the spire and finial atop the central tower, completing the steeple's distinctive silhouette. Meanwhile, exterior cladding is progressing across the building, as work advances toward completion. Fully enclosing the temple was a priority ahead of the winter season. A building wrap is being applied to the wood sheathing of the ancillary building where a distribution center, waiting area, and restrooms will be housed.

The tower of the Santiago West Chile Temple is nearing completion, with exterior cladding extending to the top and art-glass windows in place. Crews are preparing to install the domed cupola that will crown the structure, marking a major milestone in the temple's exterior construction. Landscaping of the grounds continues including the planting of deciduous trees on the property.
