Construction of the Ribeirão Preto Brazil Temple is entering its final stages. Monument sign panels have been installed, and stone cladding has been added to the front staircases. Scaffolding was recently removed from the temple tower following completion of stonework. An architectural lighting system is also being installed to illuminate the temple at night. Landscaping is well advanced, with lawns, planting beds, flowers, and palm trees giving the grounds a finished appearance.

The construction barrier is being removed from the Santiago Chile West Temple site, revealing the ornamental fencing with its fleur-de-lis finials. Landscaping is taking shape around the site, including xeriscaping, lawns, flowers, shrubs, and trees. Scaffolding is being removed from the arrival center as exterior finishing work wraps up. Work continues on the tower and installation of stained glass, with some panels featuring the copihue flower, Chile’s national flower.

Crews have begun pouring the slab foundation for the Naga Philippines Temple, about a month after the groundbreaking ceremony. The city of Naga is located at the center of the Bicol Peninsula, about 250 miles (400 kilometers) south of Manila. The new temple will provide greater access to temple ordinances for Latter-day Saints throughout Bicol. Currently, members travel to the Alabang Philippines Temple.

Construction is advancing steadily on the Teresina Brazil Temple, where the foundation has been completed and the superstructure is now rising. Reinforced-concrete walls and columns are taking shape, with extensive formwork and rebar supporting the structural work. A tower crane stands over the site, assisting crews as construction progresses upward. Teresina sits on the eastern bank of the Parnaíba River on the border between the states of Piauí and Maranhão.
