Today is an historic day in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After many, many years and many, many, many prayers we are getting a temple. Today was the groundbreaking ceremony. It was simply a marvelous experience. There were probably close to 2,000 people in attendance. The Mormon Chorale sang some beautiful hymns. Elder Ronald A. Rasband, Senior President of the Seventy, Elder William R. Walker, Executive Director of the Temple Department, and Elder Donald D. Deshler of the Sixth Quorum of the Seventy were the General Authorities in attendance. The sun was shining brightly which was a good thing since the wind was blowing so cold. In about two years time, I hope to be back in that spot for the dedication of the temple. 11 Stakes, 8 from Missouri and 3 from Kansas will comprise the temple district.
