Michelle and I went to my parent's church today for a missionary farewell. The picture below shows how my whole childhood was. My dad taking my toys and not sharing and my mom trying hard to entertain me with another toy. Each time Tanner tried to grab a crayon from Grandpa, Grandpa looked at him and would say, "MINE." Tanner got so angry we had to leave the sacrament meeting. Notice Grandpa's smirk and Tanner's glare. In the end, Grandpa's picture turned out great. Way to go Grandpa, we are proud of you. Thanks for being so nice Grandma!
The groundbreaking ceremony for the Rome Italy temple will be taking place on October 23rd. The person presiding over the ceremony will be non other than President Thomas S. Monson. The area where the temple is being built is going to include a stake center, visitor center and patron center. At the ground breaking they will unveil building plans for the temple. Looks like they have all of their ducks in a row for this one. I seriously wasn't expecting it to happen so quickly. I better start saving up for my trip to Italy to visit the Temple soon. Go Italians. We are so happy and excited for the saints in Italy. What a great blessing for them! Arrivaderci o Mandi.
