I'm so happy I didn't miss this historic ceremony! I wasn't really excited about getting up early on Saturday to go to the groundbreaking event for our new Stake Center, everyone said we were going to have to walk to get there, sit in the dirt for 45 min. But I'm so grateful I didn't miss it! The weather was fantastic, we drove right up to the entrance and enjoyed the spirit. I learned that the trail that the first pioneers coming into Mesa took went right through where our new church building will be built. My ancestors came to Mesa using that same trail. At the end of the ceremony they released white doves to the music of "Come, Come Ye Saints" the spirit was so strong I can just imagine how excited those pioneers would be knowing that the church is so strong here in Mesa. What do you think of my mom and I in our matching outfits---like mother like daughter---I didn't realize we matched so much until I saw the pictures.

Wish I could have been there! So cute the with you girls and your matching outfits. Love seeing the pictures of the doves and the ribbons on the poles. It reminded me of when my 2nd graders did the Maypole dance. What a wonderful experience!
