Elder Pinnock said the sacred edifice is expected to be operational a year from the day of groundbreaking ceremony. Let us pray that not only the building will be constructed well, but also our own lives will be constructed well. We will be together forever as families if we live as we should here on earth. I testify to you that we are led by a living prophet of God. In his musings today, he is aware of this event and the Saints gathering here today.
Temples link the past with the present and give a vision of the future.
If it were not for the Lord Jesus Christ there would be no temples. If it were not for our Redeemer, we could not qualify to enjoy the blessings of eternal families. In the next 12 months, we can prepare ourselves. We're also anxious to share with those who are not yet members. Elder Holt said the first stake in Minnesota was organized in 1960.
