With the announcement of two new temples, groundbreakings for two others and a number of interesting developments at still others, the establishment and reach of sacred temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints continued to grow and expand around the world during the past six months.
In early April, LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson opened the 183rd Annual General Conference of the church by announcing the construction of new temples in Cedar City, Utah, and in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
"Brothers and sisters," President Monson said, "temple building continues unabated."
