On Saturday, Aug. 1, ground was broken for the Santos Brazil Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It’s now one of six Brazil houses of the Lord in the construction phase.
Elder Ronald M. Barcellos, a General Authority Seventy, presided over the groundbreaking. Aug. 1 also marked when he began his service as a counselor in the Brazil Area presidency. Elder Barcellos was born in São Paulo, Brazil, about a 50-mile drive from Santos.
In his remarks, Elder Barcellos said this house of the Lord will bring “glorious blessings” to thousands. “The construction and dedication of a temple in the city of Santos stand as powerful evidence and an expression of God’s love for His children in this region.”
