Ground Broken for Farmington New Mexico Temple

Ground has been broken on the latest house of the Lord, the Farmington New Mexico Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Church leaders and invited guests gathered on Saturday, April 30, 2022, for the groundbreaking of New Mexico’s second temple.
“We are grateful Thy temple will be built in this city where three rivers come together and leave as one,” said Elder Anthony D. Perkins of the Quorum of the Seventy, who presided at the event.
The single-story structure will be about 25,000 square feet in size. The temple will serve Latter-day Saints from the Four Corners region of the Southwestern United States, including parts of New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and the Navajo Nation.
Watch the full broadcast of the groundbreaking ceremonies.

Is it just a matter of time or how does a community qualify to host a temple.

When I heard of the temple announcement of Farmington temple I cried to finally hear of a temple near by. I'm so happy and as me my children have done temple work and done the work for our families. We still have our recent family members who passed on.

I can't wait for the new temple in Kansas to be built in Wichita. I live in Kansas That would be the first temple built in the state that I lived in where I used to live up in Wisconsin never had a temple built so I never got to experience a temple being built in my area.
