At the end of last month, a photographer for The Winchester Star captured a stunning rainbow over the rising steel frame for the Winchester Virginia Temple. Winchester is located at the northern end of the Shenandoah Valley, approximately 72 miles northwest of Washington, DC. It is the oldest city west of the Blue Ridge Mountains and has a rich history, including being the location of multiple major battles during the Civil War.

Construction of the Budapest Hungary Temple has moved above ground, rising above the blanket of snow that covers the surrounding soil. Red formwork is being used for the cast-in-place concrete walls. Rough openings are visible in the concrete, indicating the locations of windows or doors. Construction of the temple began over six months ago at the beginning of the summer season.

On the grounds of the Cody Wyoming Temple, black lamp posts have been installed next to the walkways that lead to the front entrance of the building. The cheek walls on either side of the front staircase have been faced with cladding to match the temple exterior, and a pendant light has been installed inside the front portico, which is always kept on. The temple beautifully harmonizes with the surrounding mountain scenery.

Signage has been posted at the San Juan Puerto Rico Temple, indicating plans for a patron housing facility to be constructed on site. The 6,988-square-foot temple serves members from all five stakes on the island and from surrounding isles, including Vieques and the US Virgin Islands. The temple was the third to be constructed in the Caribbean. It was dedicated three years ago in January 2023.
