The Saturday after we moved, the branch we now attend had a "ground breaking ceremony" at the location where the new building will be built. It was the sweetest experience as the few members of the branch gathered in a circle in a grove of trees. The branch president spoke of the wonderful things that would take place in the building that is going to be built there. He spoke of our children learning about the Savior there, missionaries that would be sent from our branch and other things of that nature. Then a brother sang a beautiful hymn. After the stake president gave the closing prayer, the branch president broke the ground first with the shovel. He then passed it to the children there. Tinsley even got a turn taking a dig into the ground. The spirit was strong. I was so happy I attended. Until the building is ready, the branch will continue to meet in small motel rooms at a local Forestry. I love the branch and am looking forward to serving and getting to know the members better.
