Campo Grande Brazil Temple
During his general conference message on April 6, 2025, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in Campo Grande, Brazil. The Campo Grande Brazil Temple is one of fifteen newly announced temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1]
The Campo Grande Brazil Temple is the 24th announced temple in Brazil. Campo Grande is a city in west central Brazil. There are more than 1.5 million Latter-day Saints in Brazil, the third-most populous country of Latter-day Saints outside the United States.
Elder Ciro Schmeil, a General Authority Seventy who serves as first counselor in the Church’s Brazil Area presidency, and his wife, Sister Alessandra Schmeil, were in the Conference Center and heard the announcement. They rejoiced at the news of a new temple in their native Brazil. “The Saints in Brazil will be very blessed to have a temple in Camp Grande. It’s exciting. The Lord is moving the work full speed, so we need to catch up with President Nelson.” He continued, “It’s amazing. It will be a blessing to the Saints in Brazil, but with that comes a big responsibility. But we are looking forward to it.”[2]
