The Kansas City Temple has finally broke ground--Yeah!! Micah and I were able to take the older girls to the Ground Breaking Ceremony, a new experience for all of us. It was a beautiful morning(but FREEZING!!!) and the spirit was so strong. When the ceremony ended, Elder Rasband said that he had attended another ground breaking ceremony with President Hinckley who offered for the attendees to come up and dig a shovel in. Elder Rasband then replied, "If it's good enough for Pres. Hinckley, than it's good enough for me!" I was SO excited (much to my children's dismay) and I dragged my freezing family up for a few memorable photos. (Funny how once Malia got started digging, we couldn't get her away!) We are so excited for what this means for us as a family, community, and church and look forward to watching it come to fruition over the next 2 years. How fun to say that we got to be part of this amazing experience!!
