Cleveland Temple Open House
We visited the open house this last week. We thought it started at 10 and got there about that time to be told it actually started at 12 and 10 on Saturdays. However we waited and went through. It was a very good experience. There is great peace in the temple, even before it has been dedicated. We also walked around a cou0le of times, and the kids explored the forest on the temple grounds. Pictures not allowed in the temple but we took lots of the exterior. We had a good time. I made it a point to meet many missionaries, and had ties with any of them. There were at least three from Shelley, Idaho. Another from Herriman. I love the missionaries and I love the temple. Cleveland is a small temple, but it still has all the ordinances and all the priesthood will be there.

Winter Quarters Temple and Pioneer Cemetery with Natalia
The Winter Quarters Temple is Beautiful and the pioneer cemetery where so many people are buried from the winter of 1846 is a very moving experience.

Rendering Released for the Buenos Aires Downtown Temple
Came across this picture on Facebook of the newly relesed depiction of the Buenos Aires City Center Temple. Que Maravilloso. The temple will be built on Calle Reconquista between Avenida CĂ³rdoba and Viamonte. This means it is only a couple blocks from Calle Florida and a major shopping district.
The Christus statue in the garden is unique. I understand the garden will be for many to visit.Thursday, April 23, 2026
Tucson LDS Temple
This temple has a bit different design to reflect the Southwest. The desert gardening reflects this as well. It was Monday when we visited and there were men their working.
