An artistic rendering was released early this week for the six-story Bangkok Thailand Temple. The 44,405-square-foot structure will feature multiple spires; the grounds will also include a 91,370-square-foot multipurpose building which will house two meetinghouses, an area service center, seminary and institute classrooms, and mission offices and housing.

Walls Poured in South Africa
Crews at the Durban South Africa Temple are helping transform the structure and are giving viewers a hint to its final beauty. Cream colored precast panels are being installed, covering the black waterproofing material. On the interior of the temple, drywall and HVAC systems are being installed. Roof trusses are going up for the missionary housing veranda. Progress continues on curbing and landscaping.
Cupola Installed in Chile
At the Concepción Chile Temple site, crews removed a temporary two-dimensional angel Moroni stand-in and hoisted the outer shell of a decorative cupola atop the steeple. Members are looking forward to the installation of the permanent angel Moroni statue, which arrived a number of months ago.
