The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has 122 temples in 37 countries; 72 have been built during the past decade under the leadership of LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley.

Eleven temples are currently operating in Utah. Three others are now planned in the state:

• A new temple is to be built in the Daybreak area of South Jordan, the church announced Saturday.

• A second is planned for an as-yet undisclosed site on the west side.
