On September 15, the "Jesus Christ with Mary and Martha" statue was installed on Temple Square, joining ten other new statues. A twelfth statue, "Jesus Christ Blessing the Children," will be installed later. Temple Square will be open to the public for the upcoming general conference from State Street to West Temple. Visitors can walk the grounds and admire the beautiful landscapes and statues. The 196th Semiannual General Conference will be held October 3–4, 2026.

Excavation is well underway for the partial basement of the Tulsa Oklahoma Temple, where crews are also installing below-grade plumbing and drainage lines. Heavy equipment continues to move soil and prepare additional areas for concrete work, while materials and construction supplies are being staged throughout the site. The temple’s groundbreaking ceremony was held last month, with Elder Pedro X. Larreal presiding.

The Freetown Sierra Leone Temple is nearing completion, with the building and surrounding grounds presenting beautifully. The light-beige stone exterior is complete, including the central tower and its faceted cupola and finial, while mature palms and newly established landscaping frame the entrance. Interlocking pavers have been installed across the driveways and parking areas, and crews are completing final details on the interior and across the site.

Extensive excavation and foundation work is underway at the site of the Huehuetenango Guatemala Temple. Deep trenches and excavated areas define the footprint of the temple, while crews install reinforcing steel for the reinforced-concrete foundation and walls. Temporary safety fencing surrounds the active work areas, and construction continues across the site under nighttime lighting.
