The story of the Seoul Korea Temple is not just about a building; it’s about the people and their faith. At a time of national unrest and rebuilding the gospel of Jesus Christ came to the people of Korea. Getting the temple built was a matter of necessity, as the government would not let couples leave together to go to the Hawaii or Tokyo temples.

It sounds like a gorgeous building, inside and out. And if you watch one famous K-Drama, you might sneak a peek at it!

The Temple in Johannesburg is surely an answer to prayer, but it also sets up the foundation for the future of the church in Africa. As the first temple in Africa it was the most geographically remote temple for many years. And it was the furthest from Salt Lake City in the world.

We are grateful for the history of the Saints in this area, and we are more excited for the future of the church as missionary work takes off, we are sure the future holds miracles across that great continent!
