The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced a November groundbreaking date for the Cuernavaca Mexico Temple and revealed the site location for the Otavalo Ecuador Temple, according to ABC4 Utah. The Otavalo site selection is the first temple location announcement under Church President Dallin H. Oaks.

The Cuernavaca temple will serve Latter-day Saints in the Mexican state of Morelos. The Otavalo temple, announced earlier this year, will be the Church's second in Ecuador and will serve indigenous populations in the northern highlands.

Both projects are part of the Church's ongoing temple construction program, which has accelerated in recent years with dozens of temples in various stages of planning and construction worldwide.
