The distinctive spire of the Neiafu Tonga Temple shines under the Pacific sun on the Tongan island of Vava'u. On August 19, 1895, assistant church historian, Andrew Jensen, sailed into the Vava'u archipelago and into the channel leading to the village of Neiafu, which had about 200 inhabitants at the time. The next month, on September 9, Jensen hiked Mount Talau with some others and dedicated the Vava’u archipelago for the preaching of the gospel. Today, there are 25 wards and 11 branches on the island group.

A view of the rear side of the San Pedro Sula Honduras Temple highlights the elegant detailing of the exterior stone, art-glass windows, and landscaped grounds. The three windows on the center wall are featured in the beautiful celestial room. The final touches are being made to the temple, which has been under construction for the past 44 months. The open house and dedication dates have not yet been announced.

The main floor slab for the Fort Worth Texas Temple has been poured and cured, except for the portion over the basement. Floor joists will be installed around the opening for the baptismal font, which will transfer the weight of the floor to the load-bearing basement walls. It is the second temple to be built in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. A third temple, slated for the McKinney suburb of Fairview, is facing opposition from local residents.

Spring flowers are abloom around the Grand Junction Colorado Temple construction site. Scaffolding has been fully removed from the completed stone exterior, and the installation of stained glass continues. The warmer weather is bringing an acceleration to the landscaping efforts on the grounds of Colorado's third temple. A fourth temple has been announced for the state for the city of Colorado Springs.
