The plaque that is on Chan's Ground Breaking Shovel...the one he will bring to his mission farewell at our building! :)
Although you can't see them clearly, you get the idea of how beautiful our building is going to be! I also heard that we're gonna get a fast food place on the corner, too! Brings back memories of the Denton TX building where I attended church...right next door to a Whataburger! Builds character, right?
President William Rose, Stake President Denver North Stake
In order from R to L: Pres. Rose, Pres. Young (coun), a man who just returned from being Mission Pres in the Baltic, Bishop Hammond, Andrea Hansen (YW), Bishop Horstman, Bro. Carlson (family helped get the land), our Bishop (Bishop Bennett), Chan the Man, Brad Wolfersberger (Primary child).It's OFFICIAL! We are getting our own ward building! After more than 4 years of waiting, we attended the ground breaking for our building! What a beautiful day! President Rose said that if all goes well, we should hold our first meeting in June 2009!! He also said that the Denver North Stake is the largest in the region (North America Central?) with over 5000 members! And because of our faithful payment of tithing, the building will be paid off by the time we move in...
Chandler was asked to be one of representatives from our ward to help turn over some dirt! He got to keep the shovel which has the Ground Breaking plaque attached. Very cool! He was so excited to hear his name announced in front of the crowd. He handled the responsibility like a real man. I am proud of him. We'll keep you posted on the progress!!

What a neat experience for Chandler. We too are finally getting a building for our ward. We meet in another Stakes building right now. It's exciting.
These pics are awesome! I am so jealous that I couldn't be there. Thanks for capturing the special day. Patti
