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.

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.

Moving trucks are arriving at the Fort Worth Texas Temple site with deliveries of furniture and furnishings as interior spaces are prepared for occupancy. Crews are unloading and staging materials near the main entrance while finishing touches continue inside the building and across the grounds. Open house and dedication dates will be announced following the completion of construction and final acceptance of the project by Church representatives.
