"Expanding Temples and Addressing Silence: Highlights from April 2024 LDS General Conference"

President Russell M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced plans to build 15 new temples, including two in Utah, bringing the total number of LDS temples worldwide to 350. The newly announced locations span across various countries, and the temples are significant to the faith as they are not open to the public, with access restricted to active members with a "temple recommend." Additionally, two local temples in Utah will soon hold open-house periods for public tours.
