Guatemala City Guatemala Temple
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Guatemala City Guatemala Temple (formerly the Guatemala City Temple) is the 34th constructed and 32nd operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Located in Guatemala City, capital city of Guatemala, it was built with a modern six-spire design. In 1956, while Harold B. Lee (then a member of the Quorum on the Twelve) visited Guatemala City, he felt that it would be a center for Lamanite gatherings and prophesied that a temple would be built there.
The LDS temple in Guatemala City, Guatemala was announced on April 1, 1981, and dedicated on December 14, 1984 by Gordon B. Hinckley. The temple was built on a 1.4 acre plot, has 4 ordinance room and 3 sealing rooms, and has a total floor area of 11,610 square feet.
