Ground to be broken for Twin Falls Temple

Elder Neil L. Andersen, of the Presidency of the Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, will preside at groundbreaking services for the Twin Falls Idaho Temple on April 15.

Elder Andersen will be accompanied by Elder Paul E. Koelliker of the First Quorum of the Seventy and executive director of the Church's Temple Department, Elder Shayne M. Bowen, newly called to the First Quorum of the Seventy, and other area seventies from the Idaho Area.
