TEMPLES — Names
QUESTION: Uniform naming guidelines are now used for all temples in the Church. Under these guidelines, five of our temples have names that consist of only eight letters (not including the word ‘Temple’). Can you name these five temples with the shortest official names?
ANSWER: The five temples with the shortest official names are Lima Peru (dedicated January 10, 1986), Salt Lake (dedicated April 6, 1893), Suva Fiji (dedicated June 18, 2000), Yigo Guam (dedicated May 22, 2022), and Orem Utah (dedicated January 21, 2024).
