Today was the groundbreaking ceremony for the Gilbert, AZ Temple. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. Elder Claudio R. M. Costa from the Presidency of the Seventy was presiding over the ceremony.
Elder William R. Walker who is the Executive Director of the Temple Department was conducting. There was a wonderful talk given by the Mesa Arizona Temple President as well. This was my first time ever going to a groundbreaking ceremony so I enjoyed it.
This is what Wyatt did during almost the whole ceremony....
The Temple will take about two years to build and will look like this....
Isn't it gorgeous??!! I'm happy I had the opportunity to go to the ceremony today. Temples are such a blessing and I am thankful there will be another one fairly close to us.
"Establish a House, even
a House of Prayer, a House of Fasting,
a House of Faith, a House of learning,
a House of Glory, a House of Order,
a House of God."
(Doctrine and Covenants 109:8)
If anyone is interested in seeing the site where the Temple will be built it is on the Southeast corner of Greenfield Road and Pecos Road in Gilbert.
