Elder Andersen Shares Renderings of the Ulaanbaatar Mongolia Temple
Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and his wife, Kathy, visited the country of Mongolia on September 18–19, 2025. "Receiving a temple here in Mongolia is a monumental step in the Church," said Elder Andersen, who shared renderings of the Ulaanbaatar Mongolia Temple exterior, interior, and site plan. "It’ll take us four or five years to actually get it built and see it open, but it is a statement to say, 'We are never leaving Mongolia. We will be here when the Savior returns.'"
