The floor area listed for the Kona Hawaii temple is incorrect. In order for a 149x77 foot building to have 140,700 square feet of floorspace, the temple would need to be 12 stories tall.
The Apia Samoa entry doesn't appear to mention the rebuilding and re-dedication (in 2005) after the 2003 fire.
Well the temples are dotting the earth, but Kansas City is up and running, they had it as "announced". I guess I will do the "visit all the temples trip" in the millennium. But they are beautiful temples and so glad that they are closer to the people throughout the world.
On the Samoa Temple the line that should say "Groundbreaking" for some reason says "Dedication".
Temples are handsome structures but not very efficient or practical considering the cost. What would be wrong with adding some space to stake center buildings for work for the dead and perform marriages in the chapel area? Re temple marriages, it's not the temple structure that seals for eternity... it's the authority by which it is done.
In growing up, I can remember leaders or teachers speculating that the day could come when there would be such high demand that the scenario which Mr. Bean described might happen. If church growth started to escalate rapidly, I could see where some temples would be reserved only for the living.
a much more efficient way to see this list is the hardcopy version in the Church Almanac. That way you can go straight to any temple you are interested in, without having to click through the list. Also lds.org contains much of this info, but probably not all of it.
I would like to say just one thing for all LDS people of age get your Temple recommends and go often, if you have not yet qualified DO SO it will be the most important thing you can do to achieve that which the Lord has commanded you to do. It can change your life and give you greater understanding into the eternal prespective and make you a more dedicated Saint. May each of you pray and work toward that end that you may stand with your families and be prepared to enter into our Heavenly Fathers kingdom and receive all that the Father has as promised in the scriptures.
@LookingatUtah:
"..I could see where some temples would be reserved only for the living."
My point is simply, that temple structures seem altogether unneeded, since it is the 'authority,' not a physical structure that authenticates work for the dead, etc. Thus, temple construction around the world seems exorbitant... perhaps for some enigmatic, unknown purpose or function.
Perhaps the encouragement to 'attend often' without a specific dead ancestor or living marriage to attend to holds the key. Who knows...?
