HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"Temples are the greatest university of learning known to man, giving us knowledge and wisdom about the Creation of the world. Endowment instructions give guidance as to how we should conduct our lives here in mortality."
—Robert D. Hales

Stonework and Landscaping Advance at the Austin Texas Temple

Stone cladding is progressing across the Austin Texas Temple, with workers installing a course of gray stone along the base of the building and a light-colored stone veneer on the tower and mezzanine-level walls. Stairs are being installed to connect the east parking area with the temple grounds, while ornamental fencing is being installed around the property. Landscaping is also advancing, with topsoil placed and trees planted at the northeast corner of the site.

Port Vila Vanuatu Temple Brings worship Closer to South Pacific Members

The Port Vila Vanuatu Temple will become the first temple in Vanuatu, bringing a long-awaited house of the Lord closer to members throughout the South Pacific archipelago. Announced in October 2020, the temple will remove the need for local members to travel more than 700 miles to the Suva Fiji Temple. Construction has been underway for the past three-and-a-half years, and the temple president and matron have been called.
