On April 7, 2022, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in Uturoa, French Polynesia, one of fifteen new temples to dot the earth.[1]
The Uturoa French Polynesia Temple will be the second house of the Lord in French Polynesia. The Papeete Tahiti Temple was dedicated in 1983 and was rededicated in 2006 following an expansion.
In 1843, missionaries set sail from the North Atlantic to Tahiti. The Prophet Joseph Smith and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles called four missionaries to take the gospel “unto the islands of the sea” in the Pacific. The Pacific Area is celebrating the 180th anniversary of the missionaries’ arrival the month of April 2024.
There are nearly 30,000 Latter-day Saints in nearly 100 congregations in French Polynesia.
