Ground breaking ceremony for the new temple












The temple ground breaking ceremony was February 14, 2009. We woke up early for a Saturday morning. We loaded our chairs, a few blankets, and our excitement. It was a beautiful crisp morning. We left the house around 7:30 am. We set up chairs and snuggled together. The spirit was so wonderful there. Everything seemed so calm mixed with excitement. Being a bit chilly was fun and then as the morning went on to enjoy such a wonderful blessing of the sun. Little things seemed to be such a blessing. As I looked out at ll the saint gathered together, small babies, the elderly and families, I couldn't help but think of Christ coming again. I wondered if this was what it may be like. Everyone gathered together with such happiness for what was about to happen. Braving the chilly morning and gathering all together to witness such a sweet blessing. I am so grateful my family was able to be there and enjoy the spirit that was there.
