Notes: The Kirtland Temple (dedicated by Joseph Smith) and the original Nauvoo Temple (dedicated by Orson Hyde) are no longer functioning as temples. With the 10 temples that President Gordon B. Hinckley RE-dedicated, he participated in the dedication and/or rededication of 95 of the 138 existing temples!  President Thomas S. Monson dedicated 7 temples before being sustained as the President of the Church.  The Rexburg Idaho Temple was the first temple he dedicated as President of the Church (February 10, 2008).  The last change made to this page was with the dedication of the Quetzaltenango Guatemala Temple, dedicated on 16 December 2011 by President Uchtdorf.
