"Because Jesus Christ is at the center of everything we do in the temple, as you think more about the temple, you will be thinking more about Him."
—Russell M. Nelson

Exterior Doors Returned to the West End of the Salt Lake Temple

On the west end of the Salt Lake Temple, the beautifully restored exterior doors have been returned to their original locations. The doors feature rich symbolism, including the beehive, a cherished emblem in Utah representing industry, harmony, order, and cooperation. Nineteenth-century Latter-day Saints described it as a symbol of the "sweet results of their toil, union and intelligent cooperation." Just north of Temple Square, demolition of the former Plaza Hotel continues. During the temple’s six-month open house, the site will serve as parking.

Final Piece Added to the Steeple of the Torreón Mexico Temple

At the Torreón Mexico Temple site, a golden ball-and-spire finial has been installed atop the cupola, completing the temple's steeple. Privacy screening remains in place around the ornamental fencing, indicating that the grounds are not yet open to the public. Across the street, an existing meetinghouse has been expanded to serve as an arrival center, while a separate ancillary building has also been completed. Although the temple president and matron have been called, dates for the public open house and dedication have not yet been announced.

Greening Up the Grounds of the Cody Wyoming Temple

Landscapers are transforming the grounds of the Cody Wyoming Temple as they lay large sections of green sod around the building. Newly planted trees are taking root across the site, while planting beds and landscaped areas become more defined. With the temple's exterior nearly finished, attention is focused on completing the grounds and finalizing the interior. An open house for the temple will be held from Thursday, August 27, through Saturday, September 12, 2026.

Cladding the West Side of the Lethbridge Alberta Temple

Stone cladding is progressing on the west side of the Lethbridge Alberta Temple as crews install panels across the exterior walls and windows are fitted into the rough openings. Nearby, staging pads have been prepared for the tower and spire sections that will be assembled to form the temple's steeple. The tower has been fully sheathed and wrapped, while a protective cap has been installed atop the spire framework.
