A Temple! A Temple!
Nearly one year ago, it was announced by President Monson that Brigham City would receive a temple. Wow, what a shock. With Logan and Ogden each 30 minutes away I never imagined that we would receive one.
We held a groundbreaking service just a few weeks ago. President Packer and Elder Nelson from the Quorum of the Twelve attended and spoke. Elders, Walker, Packer and snow also attended. It was great fun. We gathered on the temple block and listened to the speakers and then the groundbreaking ceremony took place. Lots of pictures, lots of fun. Our Elder's Quorum got to help with security on the site overnight as well as setting up and taking down chairs for people with tickets to sit in. My family did not have tickets but 1/2 hour prior to ther service beginning, seats left open could be filled. Joan and I sat center about 7 rows back. It was terrific!
They have told us to expect 18-20 months for completion of the temple. We are so excited. I can't wait to help with the open house!
Here are many pictures from that event:
