Clear back in November I had the opportunity to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the Gilbert, Arizona Temple. It was a very hot and sunny day. The next day at church, you could tell who was present at the ceremony by the burned left ear and neck! I went with my sister, Celsea, and my Dad. My mom was singing in the choir. Scott and the boys dropped us off right at the entrance so we didn’t have to worry about parking. It was a formal and yet kind of informal affair. Thousands (at least five thousand) of people were milling around everywhere. You could walk right up to the front and snap pictures next to the artist rendering of what the temple would look like. There were news cameras and helicopters around too. It was a cool experience to be there though the heat was really distracting.

Can you see off to the left? That is the painting of what the temple is supposed to look like.
Here is a better picture of the temple.
