The Gilbert Arizona Temple!November 13, 2010.... Was the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Gilbert AZ temple!
Tom had such a big job to do in making sure over five thousand chairs were there! Tom had to have a map of how the chairs would flow. Tom also was in charge of getting the Ushers in place!
Tom was at the grounds by 6:45am to start getting things set up! I feel sure Tom did not sleep much the night before worrying about this day!!
After making sure everything was in place he hurried home and showered and got his suit on to head back to help usher people to their chairs and to reassure things went smoothly for those who were speaking!
Elder Claudio R.M. Costa from the Presidency of the Seventy presided and conducted the groundbreaking ceremony! President / Elder David E.LeSueur who coordinated the ground breaking said the opening prayer!!!
The President from the Mesa Temple and his wife spoke as well! The songs that were sung were...The Spirit of God, How Firm A Foundation and was closed with Now Let Us Rejoice. Sister Ann Barney said the closing prayer! Some of my favorite hymns!
After it was over, Tom make sure the chairs were taken down and stop by home and grabbed a quick bite to eat and then headed to the church for leadership meetings presented by our Prophet President Thomas Spencer Monson!
Tom said his leadership meeting was great as always... and was thankful for how smooth the whole day went as well.... With thanks to his Heavenly Father for all the help he had that day!!!
