The Manaus Brazil Temple is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. The announcement of the temple came on May 23, 2007,[4][5] and construction began with a groundbreaking on June 20, 2008.[4] The temple was dedicated on June 10, 2012 by Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the church's First Presidency.
