History of the São Paulo Temple
The São Paulo Temple was the first temple built in South America, and it stands in one of the largest cities. The temples’ grounds feature a beautiful water fountain and numerous colorful flower beds. Before its construction, the nearest temple to the members in São Paulo was the Washington D.C temple. Due to this, the members made many sacrifices of time and money to help with the building of the temple. At the beginning, there were only 54,000 church members in the entire country, the number of members today has risen to more than 1,300,000.
