- Detroit Michigan Temple
The Detroit Michigan Temple was dedicated Oct 23-24, 1999, by President Gordon B Hinckley, in the dedicatory prayer he blesses both the building and the people using it. It is such an amazing opportunity for the church members in Michigan and surrounding areas to have a temple so close to make covenants in. Many were previously driving hours and hours to get to the temple, now it is in their midst.Announcement: 10 August 1998Groundbreaking and Site Dedication: 10 October 1998 by Jay E.

38 min - Columbia South Carolina Temple
The Columbia South Carolina Temple was announced in September 1998, 401 days later, it was dedicated! The church has always had a place in South Carolina because the people there are prepared to hear the gospel message. After touring the temple during the open house one Rabbi's response was "“You are the only Church that cares about the spirit of Elijah”, which we take as a superb compliment! The angel Moroni on this temple was once struck by lightning! But we can't find any pictures, do you have one?

40 min - Bismarck North Dakota Temple
The Bismarck North Dakota Temple was built to support saints living over a large area, over 200,000 sq miles! It is a blessing to members who once drove 12-16 hours to get to their nearest temple. The Church bought extra land in the early 1980's, not really knowing what it could be used for, and held onto the land when it didn't really make sense to do so.

33 min - Colonia Juarez Chihuahua Mexico Temple
What a joy it was to learn about this temple and the people serving in Colonia Juarez! This is the smallest temple in the church! (6,800 sq ft) and it is the location where President Hinckley came up with the idea for the small temples. He said they would serve area where membership was small - and likely to stay that way - and that describes the Mexico colonies perfectly. The Church sent families and missionaries to northern Mexico in 1885 to find a place for a settlement, eventually 8 colonies were established and these pioneers worked very hard to make the desert blossom as a rose. After a revolution in Mexico, only 2 colonies survived, but they are building strong testimonies there. A disproportionate number of General Authorities come from the colonies, it must be a very special, faithful place to live.Announcement: 4 October 1997Groundbreaking and Site Dedication: 7 March 1998 by Eran A.
