Temple Announcement
On October 2, 2022, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct the Cuernavaca Mexico Temple at the October 2022 General Conference. Cuernavaca is about 50 miles south of Mexico City. It is the capital and largest city in the state of Morelos. In the 19th century, the city was nicknamed "the city of eternal spring" by German scientist and explorer Alexander Von Humboldt. About 350,000 people live in the historical city. It is a favorite vacation spot of many residents of Mexico City due to its closeness and mild climate. Nearly 1.5 million church members live in Mexico.1
