HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"To you who are worthy and able to attend the temple, I would admonish you to go often. The temple is a place where we can find peace. There we receive a renewed dedication to the gospel and a strengthened resolve to keep the commandments."
—Thomas S. Monson

Temporary Lighting Illuminates the Port Vila Vanuatu Temple Steeple

At the Port Vila Vanuatu Temple, temporary lighting illuminates the steeple at night, highlighting its graceful design against the dark sky. Light from within the building indicates that interior construction and finish work are progressing. East of the temple, a two-story ancillary building will provide arrival facilities and accommodations for patrons traveling from distant islands and communities. Work is also progressing on the adjacent meetinghouse, which will serve local congregations for Sunday worship services and weekday activities.

Permanent Fencing Installed at the Santa Cruz Bolivia Temple Site

At the Santa Cruz Bolivia Temple site, crews have installed the permanent ornamental fencing around the property, which is currently screened with black fabric as landscaping activities continue. Terracotta roof tiles are being secured to the pyramidal roof atop the steeple, complementing the roofing already in place over the temple’s wings. Exterior wall cladding has been completed, giving the building a finished appearance. Construction has now been underway for nearly two years.
