Saturday we went to the ground breaking ceremony of the Kansas City, Missouri temple. President Ronald A. Rasband presided. Elder William R Walker, executive director of the temple department and Elder Donald Deshler of the 6th quorum of the Seventy and all their wives were also there. Only about 1500 people were invited to be on the temple grounds. The 11 surrounding stakes in the temple district watched the ground breaking by satellite at the stake centers. We got tickets to go to the temple grounds because a member of the bishopric wasn’t able to go so the Bishop asked if we wanted them. We got there around 8:45am. It was windy, cold, and dirty (but at least it wasn’t wet). Brandon’s suit will definitely go to the cleaners this week. The grounds are on a hill and we couldn’t actually see anything (choir, speakers, or turning of dirt) but it was neat to be there.
The rest of our week was busy as Brandon studied like crazy, and I babysat, made over 150 cookies, and we looked at townhouses and tutored.
