During the Sunday morning session of conference, President Thomas S. Monson announced plans to build new temples in Harare, Zimbabwe; Quito, Ecuador; Belém, Brazil; and Lima, Peru (the Church’s second temple in that city).

Earlier this month, the Church reached the milestone of 150 operating temples with the dedication of the Provo City Center Temple on March 20, 2016. The four temples announced Sunday will increase the total number of new temples announced or under construction to 27. An additional four existing temples are being renovated.
