Ground broken for Piura Peru Temple, a sign that prayers ‘are already being answered’

Five weeks after the groundbreaking of Peru’s fifth temple, ground has been broken for a sixth. Ground was broken for the Piura Peru Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Saturday, Nov. 14. Elder Steven C. Barlow — a General Authority Seventy and member of the South America Northwest Area presidency — presided over the ceremony. “There is a very lovely spirit and very special and good people here in Piura,” he said at the pulpit. Information about the livestreamed ceremony was published in a Nov. 14 news release on the Church’s Peru Newsroom. Later that same morning, ground was also broken for the Cuernavaca Mexico Temple. In his remarks at the Piura temple’s groundbreaking, Elder Barlow noted the two images displayed at the ceremony: a rendering of the temple design and a depiction of Jesus Christ. “The temple’s architecture and design are divine,” he said.
