"Like Enoch, many of our youth today are choosing to abide with Jesus Christ. They are choosing to keep Him in their lives. They are walking with Him. They are gathering in record numbers to temples throughout the world. They wake before sunrise to participate in seminary. More are serving missions, resulting in more of God’s children being baptized than ever before. Today’s rising generation has been gifted with talents to gather and attributes of empathy and understanding. More are committed to becoming lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ."
Brother David J. Wunderli - General Conference April 2026

Our youth have an opportunity to participate in FSY each summer. At FSY, they will have the chance to meet new friends, grow their testimony, and come closer to Jesus Christ. Reach out to your local ward leaders for more information on FSY.

TEMPLE TUESDAY | June 2, 2026

This week, crews are working on the exterior stone mock-up on the northwest corner of the Vancouver Washington Temple. Scaffolding is in place, and crews are setting the brackets and first stones for review before stonework continues across the temple.

Inside the temple, crews are preparing the second floor for the next phase of construction by applying a leveling layer before Dusty, the layout robot, maps wall locations and crews begin interior framing and flooring. Roofing work on level three is nearing completion now that the temple's air handling units have been installed, allowing crews to close the remaining roof section. Roofing on levels four and five is already completed.

On the west side of the temple, landscape grading is underway as crews prepare the area for future landscaping.

Recently, as part of our global efforts to share the glad tidings of the gospel of Jesus Christ and increase awareness and understanding of the Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints published a new video, “What It’s Like Inside the Missionary Training Center”.
As President Nelson said in 2024, "My dear brothers and sisters, do you see what is happening right before our eyes? I pray that we will not miss the majesty of this moment! The Lord is indeed hastening His work.”
