Ulaanbaatar Mongolia Temple

Announcement of the Ulaanbaatar Mongolia Temple

President Russell M. Nelson, 17th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, announced the Ulaanbaatar Mongolia Temple on Oct. 1, 2023, during the Sunday afternoon session of October 2023 general conference. The temple was one of 20 sacred temples announced worldwide by the Church during the general conference.

President Nadmid B. Namgur of the Mongolia Ulaanbaatar Mission wrote that words cannot adequately describe how Mongolian Latter-day Saints felt at the announcement. “Our hearts are filled with pure joy and love,” said President Namgur, the first Mongolian to serve as a mission president.

“How grateful we are for the President Nelson’s announcement of a temple in Mongolia at close of this general conference! This historic announcement came as the Mongolian pioneering Saints [are] celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Church in Mongolia this year. We feel the Lord’s love for His people.”
