Mormon Temples: Panamá City Temple
A statue of the angel Moroni was added atop the single spire of the Panamá City Panamá Temple last week, May 4, 2007. Members report that the Moroni setting was a glorious moment for all the Saints of Panamá. To view photographs, see Panamá Mormon Temple.
Mormon Temples to dot the Earth
In 1906, President Joseph F. Smith traveled to Europe, becoming the first prophet to visit the Saints on this continent while serving as president of the Mormon Church.
During his visit he made an important prophecy while visiting Bern, Switzerland. He declared that the time would come when the world would be dotted with temples (Mormon temples).
That prophecy has found literal fulfillment in the temple building work accomplished nearly a century later by President Gordon B. Hinckley.
