Construction of the Antofagasta Chile Temple Nears Completion
Nearly 42 months ago, ground was broken for the Antofagasta Chile Temple that now stands as a beautiful landmark on the northern end of the city. On that occasion, Elder Juan Pablo Villar of the South America South Area presidency said in his dedicatory prayer, "I invite us all to…remove the rocks that weaken our foundation and prepare our spirits with firm foundations to support life's trials and to stand tall in the face of the adversity."
Advancements on the Bahía Blanca Argentina Temple Complex
The guardhouse and maintenance building for the Bahía Blanca Argentina Temple stand on the northeast side of the property, sharing the same brick exterior as the ancillary building. The temple is being faced with a light-colored stone, setting it apart from the other buildings. Cladding is nearly completed on two sides of the temple, and the roof has been shingled. It is one of seven temples dedicated, under construction, or planned for Argentina.
Scaffolding Coming Off the San Diego California Temple
Scaffolding has been a familiar sight at the San Diego California Temple for the past six months, but that is beginning to the change. As renovation of the sacred edifice progresses, scaffolding has been removed from the double towers where the refurbished white walls, blue glass, and gold-leafed tower ornaments sparkle under the sun. On the interior, modifications to the floor plan will allow for larger sealing groups.
Cupola Frame Added to the Miraflores Guatemala City Guatemala Temple
The cupola frame has been secured to the top of the tower that rises over the center of the Miraflores Guatemala City Guatemala Temple. The exterior walls are being wrapped in a vapor barrier to protect the porous concrete from moisture damage. Box fans are being used in some of the window openings to circulate fresh air through the building.
