The Santiago Chile Temple was announced just 24 years after the Chilean mission was established. Church growth has been extremely fast and abundant in this lovely country. When the Chile Mission was organized in 1956, the country had just over 600 members. In less than two decades, there were four missions and nearly 100,000 members. By the year 2000, there were over half a million Latter-day Saints in Chile, more than 3 percent of Chile’s population. This was the highest proportion anywhere in Latin America. #churchofjesuschristtemples #templesofutah #temple #ldstemples #podcast #everytemplepodcast #lds #ldstemples #latterdaysaints #churchofjesuschrist #mormon #churchhistorymatters #church #podcast #gordonbhinckley #russellmnelson #santiagochile #Santiagotemple

The Nuku’alofa Tonga Temple is an answer to prayer! The temple was announced in 1980, and when the people heard it, they wept. The members there were so willing to sacrifice to get to their nearest temple, they sold everything they could to travel to Hawaii or New Zealand. Since this temple opened, it has been well-used, and well-loved.#churchofjesuschristtemples #templesofutah #temple #ldstemples #podcast #everytemplepodcast #lds #ldstemples #latterdaysaints #churchofjesuschrist #mormon #churchhistorymatters #church #podcast #gordonbhinckley #russellmnelson
The Apia Samoa temple was the 3rd temple dedicated in the Pacific Islands. It was a very busy building, always full of patrons. It was closed for renovations in 2003 and unfortunately the building suffered a devastating fire. Rebuilding efforts started immediately, and the only thing that survived the fire was the statue of the Angel Moroni, it was refurbished and used on the rebuilt temple. #churchofjesuschristtemples #templesofutah #temple #ldstemples #podcast #everytemplepodcast #lds #ldstemples #latterdaysaints #churchofjesuschrist #mormon #churchhistorymatters #church #podcast #gordonbhinckley #russellmnelson #Samoa #apiasamoa #polynesiansaints
The Atlanta Georgia Temple is one full of firsts! It’s hard to believe when it’s the 23rd episode, that we still have some firsts.

It is also the first temple that President Gordon B Hinckley dedicated (he went on to dedicate/rededicate 89 temples!!)#churchofjesuschristtemples #templesofutah #temple #ldstemples #podcast #everytemplepodcast #lds #ldstemples #latterdaysaints #churchofjesuschrist #mormon #churchhistorymatters #church #podcast #gordonbhinckley #russellmnelson #atlantageorgia #templehistory

The Tokyo Japan Temple was announced to a very grateful crowd of Japanese members at an area conference in 1975.

Two stone lanterns sit on the grounds representing guides for spirits on their way.Listen along to the episode to hear Janelle’s experience at this beautiful temple!Announcement: 9 August 1975Construction Commencement: 10 April 1978 (no groundbreaking ceremony)Dedication: 27–29 October 1980 by Spencer W.
