The doors have opened to the new Cobán Guatemala Temple, the third house of the Lord of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Central American nation.
The Cobán temple began its formal introduction to the public with a media day Monday, April 22, as four General Authority Seventies — the three members of the Church’s Central America Area presidency and an assistant executive director of the Temple Department — welcomed media representatives to a news briefing prior to taking them on a tour of the sacred edifice.
Elder Taylor G. Godoy, area president, was joined by his counselors, Elder Patricio M. Giuffra and Elder Ryan K. Olsen, as well as Elder Juan Pablo Villar of the Temple Department for Monday’s event.
In conjunction with the media day, the Church released interior and exterior images of the Cobán temple as well as additional information on the sacred edifice Monday morning on ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
