Urdaneta Philippines Temple

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints builds temples all around the world where faithful members go to learn more of Jesus Christ and his plan, receive ordinances for themselves, and perform vicarious work for their deceased ancestors. These temples are beautifully constructed both inside and out. They are designed to direct our thoughts heavenward and seal families together for eternity. The redemptive work that is performed here is not to be found anywhere else on the earth. All people are invited to experience for themselves the grandeur and blessings of temple work by qualifying themselves to enter the House of the Lord.  In the meantime, I'll be taking you through the A to Z of our temples.

The Urdaneta Philippines Temple is one of eleven temples around the world currently under construction. Another 35 temples have been announced but are still in the planning phase. 

Temples are typically announced in a General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This has become increasingly exciting as church members hope for a temple to be built much closer to them. The following video is of the new temples announcement in the General Conference of October 2018 by Church President, Russell M. Nelson:

Six months later in the next General Conference, President Nelson gently invited members of the audience to refrain from screaming out during the announcement of new temples:
