President Russell M. Nelson, 17th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, announced the Londrina Brazil Temple on Oct. 2, 2022, during the Sunday afternoon session of October 2022 general conference. A house of the Lord for this southern Brazil city was among 18 such sacred edifices announced by the Church President.
A temple in Londrina will also be the 17th for Brazil — and the second for the state of Paraná, with the first in Curitiba.
Jacob Yospe, of Farmington, Utah, was “overjoyed for the people in Londrina and the surrounding area” upon hearing the announcement of a temple in his former mission area. “Before, they had to make a very long bus trip to São Paulo, which was very expensive and a huge sacrifice,” he related.
