Ghawd commanded a temple to be built in Russia. This was in April of 2018.
Ghawd commanded a temple to be built in Shanghai, China. This was in April of 2020. Additionally, ghawd said that the Shanghai temple would open quickly enough so that the shuttering for repairs of the Hong Kong temple wouldn't be a burden to Chinese members wanting to joys and comforts of temple attendance.
I don't know that any Russian officials have ever commented publically about the 2018 announcement. The church website, mormon.org, says what it said in April of 2018, no location picked, no design, no rendering...no news.
An arm of the Chinese government did say, following the 2020 announcement, "no tickee, no laundry", or something to that effect... Okay, it was closer to "what the F are you guys smoking?!"
Here's the current mormon.org listing for mormon temples:
https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/temples/list?lang=engThey used to comment on the status of a yet-to-be-opened temple, but now they just listed the date it was announced, and nothing else, until it's under construction.
The Smithfield temple is currently listed as no site selected, but it had a ground-breaking ceremony on June 18, 2022. So now that I've pointed out this omission, someone from the 'church punishment' committee will hopefully let the webmaster know...
In any event, what's the penalty for obstructing The Way of The Lord? And upon whom will the punishment fall?
