The Buenos Aires Argentina Temple was dedicated in 1986. (LDS Media Library)
I had personal reasons to be absolutely thrilled — as, in fact, I was — with the announcement of a temple to be built in the outskirts of Richmond, Virginia. And now, at last, the design for that new temple has been released. I’m very pleased:
“Richmond Virginia Temple Renderings Released: Design plans and renderings have been released for the new Richmond Virginia Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”

President Russell M. Nelson’s latest ministry tour to South America is now well past its half-way point:
“Now Is the Time to Choose Christ, Prophet Tells Argentinian Saints: Prophet travels to fourth country on Latin America ministry”
As he typically does, Tad Walch of the Deseret News has been providing extremely interesting reportage from along the tour:
(22 August 2019): “Church president embarks on five-country tour to greet Latter-day Saints, world leaders: “It’s his love and sheer desire to be out among the Saints. It’s really important to him that he shows everyone that prophets, seers and revelators care about them.””
(24 August 2019): “They save Colombia’s children from the sewers, the streets, and from a life of no promise: “We take bread and hot chocolate into the sewers so the children will sit down and listen to us while we talk them into leaving with us.””
(25 August 2019): “Colombian leaders thank President Nelson for church’s support of religious liberty in their nation: “We are doing important things together. We are promoting cooperation between religions and government,” said Lorena Rios, Colombia’s director of Religious Affairs.”
(26 August 2019): “Nations are stronger when they support families, religious pluralism, President Nelson tells world leaders on tour: “A plural society with religious orientations are very strengthening to the values of a country and the strength of families,” President Russell M. Nelson told Colombia President Iván Duque on Monday.”
(27 August 2019): “President Nelson meets with President Lenín Moreno in Ecuador, where church-supported program helps hospitalized children: Ecuadorians laud Latter-day Saint effort in educating sick children”
