__NOTOC__ The Trujillo Peru Temple is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The temple was announced on December 13, 2008 and is in Trujillo, Peru. At the time of its announcement, the temple was to be the second in Peru and the 17th in South America. It is anticipated to serve approximately 88,000 members. == History == The first LDS Church building constructed in Trujillo was dedicated in 1967 by LDS Church president Spencer W. Kimball. The first Trujillo stake was organized in 1978 by Thomas S. Monson. Peru's only previous operating temple, which served approximately 114 stakes and districts, was dedicated in Lima by Gordon B. Hinckley in January 1986. Members from Trujillo would travel 9 to 10 hours to the Lima Peru Temple. Additionally, due to the large number of church members attending in Lima, patrons sometimes waited for hours to participate in ordinance work. These factors contributed to the need for a temple in Trujillo. When the Trujillo temple was announced, the First Presidency stated, "We are confident that this will be a blessing to the many faithful Saints in this and surrounding areas who have had to travel long distances to enjoy the blessings of the temple. We commend the Saints for their devotion and faithfulness, and are thankful for the blessings that will come to them through the construction of this new temple." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trujillo Peru Temple」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
