The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to construct 18 additional temples around the world
Salt Lake City, Utah – President Russell M. Nelson of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced the construction of 18 new LDS temples to be built all around the world to wrap up General Conference weekend.
The remaining 13 temples will be constructed overseas in Asia, Africa, South, and Central America. Five of the new temples will be constructed across the United States each timezone.
There will be four new temples constructed in Mexico, all near Mexico City. Nelson said these temples are part of an effort to “build houses of the Lord in selected large metropolitan areas where traveling to an existing temple is a significant challenge.”
