The exterior lighting of the Neiafu Tonga Temple highlights the beauty of the sacred structure against the tropical night sky. Carefully positioned fixtures illuminate the light-colored façade, accentuating the architectural details and giving the building a warm, inviting glow—a reminder that "He that keepeth his commandments receiveth truth and light, until he is glorified in truth and knoweth all things" (D&C 93:28).

Church members from the Sierra Leone Bo Mission recently visited the construction site of the Freetown Sierra Leone Temple, where they learned more about the project with great enthusiasm. A couple who plans to bring their children to be sealed were grateful for the patron accommodations on site and for the playground equipment for children. Having waited many years for the opportunity to worship in the temple, these members look forward to the blessings of having a temple in their own country.

At the Jacksonville Florida Temple site, grass sod has been laid around the retention pond, and masonry walls are rising for the grounds maintenance building. Pier-supported footings are being formed for the temple’s structural walls and columns, while preparations continue for construction of the partial basement walls. Jacksonville is the largest city by area in the contiguous United States and the most populous city in Florida.

Scaffolding has been erected around the steeple frame atop the Londrina Brazil Temple in preparation for stone cladding. With the main body of the temple now enclosed in stone panels, work is advancing to the upper architectural elements. The exterior floodlighting currently in use enhances site security while offering a preview of the building’s future architectural illumination. Landscaping is progressing across the grounds with the planting of trees.
