A couple of weeks ago, the ground-breaking was held for our new stake center. It was a blustery day, but the rainy clouds disappeared and the sun came out just in time.
The brethren came to the site from the priesthood leadership session of stake conference, so I got to catch Kevin arriving, with Steve Oesterle. (And our Toyota Camry).
There were shovels aplenty--some silver, some gold . After a few words telling the history of the stake and the need for a new stake center, the shovels were ready.
Everyone was happy--with the exception of the youngest daughter of a family in our ward. She was not so certain about this all. When the new building is ready to go, it will only take us 60 minutes, instead of 75, to get there. I'm always happy with less travel time!

We love the pictures of Grandpa! We don't see him on here very often!
ReplyDeleteIs that REALLY your commute time to church? That is very humbling for someone who lives less than a mile away from church but STILL arrives late on a regular basis. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteFortunately, that is the commute time to the stake center; our ward building is only 10 minutes away. However, Kevin does have stake meetings several times a month. He has the road memorized!
