The Guadalajara Mexico Temple is the 105th operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).
The Guadalajara Mexico Temple is one of thirteen operating temples in Mexico.
Mexico's first temple, located in Mexico City, was dedicated in 1983. Since that time, the LDS Church has grown considerably in Mexico. The Guadalajara Temple, located in the conurbated municipality of Zapopan, serves more than 60,000 members in the country's second largest city, the state of Jalisco, and other parts of western Mexico.[ citation needed ]
About 6,500 members attended the dedication of the Guadalajara temple on 29 April 2001. LDS Church president Gordon B. Hinckley presided and gave the dedicatory prayer. [2] The Guadalajara Mexico Temple has a total of 10,700 square feet (990 m2), two ordinance rooms, and two sealing rooms. [2]
In 2020, the Guadalajara Mexico Temple was closed in response to the coronavirus pandemic. [3]

Tuxtla Gutiérrez is the capital of Chiapas, Mexico's southernmost state and is an area famous for its many archaeological ruins. The city itself lies in a valley among the mountains. In April 1998, LDS Church president Gordon B. Hinckley announced the church would build thirty-two smaller temples around the world before the end of 2000. The Tuxtla Gutiérrez Mexico Temple is one of these small temples and was welcomed by the many local church members. Because of the mountainous terrain, travel in and out of the area is difficult and the closest LDS temple for members was in Mexico City — a 20-hour drive. The temple in Tuxtla Gutiérrez serves more than 18,000 members in southeastern Mexico.
