We went the night before the actual ceremony to show the kids the place where the temple will be. It's so exciting to think about having a temple 3 minutes from our house. We are so excited to watch it be built. We drive past the site daily, so it will be fun to see it in all it's stages. I can already think of several families I plan on inviting to the open house. Justin and I both thought it was pretty cool that the place they "broke ground" was where the celestial room will be in the temple. I guess this isn't always the case for temple ground breakings, but the Pima Stake President that was incharge of the event wanted it to have special meaning when they broke ground.
President Neil Andersen of the Quorum of the Seventy spoke at the ground breaking. President Andersen, his wife and stake presidents from the area came the night before to check and make sure things were how they should be at the ground breaking site. It was neat to see them and watch them smile, laugh and interact. What a blessing a temple so close to us will be for us!
