## Caption

Elder Neil L. Andersen, an Apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, visited Mongolia with his wife, Kathy, on September 18–19, 2025. They were joined by Elder J. Kimo Esplin, Asia North Area President, and his wife, Kaye. During those two days, Elder Andersen shared a consistent message everywhere he went: the house of the Lord is coming to Mongolia.

“Receiving a temple here in Mongolia is a monumental step in the Church,” said Elder Andersen. “It’ll take us four or five years to actually get it built and see it open, but it is a statement to say, ‘We are never leaving Mongolia. We will be here when the Savior returns.’”

On Monday, September 15, 2025, the office of the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ released a rendering of the Ulaanbaatar Mongolia Temple and announced the site location.

Elder Andersen encouraged members of the Church not to “miss the majesty of the moment.”

“The joy we saw in their faces as we said, ‘Now you will have the house of the Lord right here in Ulaanbaatar.’ They were overjoyed. We were overjoyed,” said Elder Andersen.
