Today was the temple dedication for the Rexburg Idaho Temple. It is the first official church business that President Monson has officiated in as our Prophet. He is amazing! There is no doubt in my mind that he has been called of God. How blessed we are to have a living Prophet to carry on the Lord's work. And he definitely carries on with Pres. Hinckley's humor...when putting the mortar in the cornerstone he invited Elder Costa of the Presidency of the seventy to come over and do it in Spanish! Also when the Temple President came up he told him to grab the mortar that he (Pres. Monson) had dropped and put it in the stone..."that is called repentance!" he said. It was such a neat experience to be a part of. Elder Nelson and Elder Bednar were also there and spoke to us. We are so blessed to have a temple so close to us...just up the hill from where we live. It is beautiful!
Our little family at the Open House in January. It was neat to take the boys through and talk to them about what happens in the temple. If you ask Brig what his favorite thing was, he will tell you, "the lights!" referring to the breathtaking chandeliers in the different rooms, especially the celestial room.
