Announcement of the Buenos Aires City Center Argentina Temple

President Russell M. Nelson, 17th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, announced the Buenos Aires City Center Argentina Temple on Oct. 2, 2022, during the Sunday afternoon session of the October 2022 general conference.

After two German Latter-day Saint families immigrated to Argentina in 1923, they asked the First Presidency to send missionaries. Apostle Melvin J. Ballard arrived in 1925 to dedicate South America for missionary work. The first stake in South America was organized in Buenos Aires in 1966. When the Buenos Aires City Center temple was announced, there were 21 stakes in Buenos Aires and 78 in all of Argentina.
