Comayagüela, Honduras 9 June 2006 by Gordon B. Hinckley 12 September 2009 by Don R. Clarke 17 March 2013 by Dieter F. Uchtdorf 28,254 sq ft (2,624.9 m2) on a 13.6-acre (5.5 ha) site Ground was broken in a small ceremony on 12 September 2009 after a new site was selected. Previously ground had been broken on 9 June 2007 by Spencer V. Jones,[4] excavation was halted because of opposition from Tegucigalpa city officials and citizens, who felt the temple would overshadow and block the view of the Catholic Our Lady of Suyapa Basilica on adjacent land. After negotiations failed to resolve the issue, the church announced on Wednesday, 28 January 2009, that out of respect for the city officials and citizens, the church would relocate the temple.[5] | ||
