The Montevideo Uruguay Temple is the 103rd operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mormon apostle Elder Richard G. Scott was one of the first Mormon missionaries in Uruguay. At the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Mormon temple he said, "Forty-eight years ago, I stepped down from a boat in Montevideo and began a stage in my life that I have treasured." He noted the growth of LDS Church in the country saying, "You represent a much larger number of members… now I see many worthy families, many missionaries, many stakes in the blossoming of the work. I am grateful to the Lord for what was done; it is as leaven for the entire country. I pray that the Lord will be with you in your preparations to enjoy the blessings of the temple." [1]
