Now that General Conference is only four weeks away, I thought I'd list some temple announcement predictions. We had a lot of temples announced last conference so that probably means we will only have a few this conference, but it could instead mean that we will have a lot of temples announced. It will be interesting to see what happens.
I've grouped my temple announcement predictions geographically and have generally chosen 3 cities for a region, but for some I chose more. I give more weight to a first temple in a country or state. Here are my predictions:
Asia:
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
Jakarta Indonesia
Kaohsiung City, Taiwan (Taichung City could also work)
Busan, Korea
Osaka, Japan
Puerto Princesa, Philippines
Australia / Pacific:
Christchurch, New Zealand
Tasmania, Australia
Marshall Islands
Africa:
Antananarivo, Madagascar
Kampala, Uganda
Kananga / Mbuji Mayi, Democratic Republic of the Congo
Europe:
Edinburgh, Scotland (or Glasgow)
Tirana, Albania
Barcelona, Spain
South America (not Brazil):
Punta Arenas, Chile / Rio Grande, Argentina (southern tip of the continent)
La Paz, Bolivia
Maracaibo, Venezuela
Brazil:
Teresina, Brazil
Palmas, Brazil
Cuiba, Brazil
North America (not US):
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Durango, Mexico
Kingston, Jamaica
United States (not Utah):
Tacoma, Washington
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Flagstaff, Arizona
Austin, Texas
Bakersfield, California
Utah:
Heber City
Price
Spanish Fork / Springville
Those are my picks for new temple locations. I'm hoping for a lot of temple announcements, but even a single temple will bless many lives. Please comment with your lists of possible temple locations. There is also usually a lively discussion about possible temple locations on the Growth of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints website so you can go there for more predictions. This conference's list should arrive any day on that blog.
