ROME ITALY TEMPLE

Today was a very special day in Italy. It was the ground breaking for the Rome Italy Temple.
The temple was announced 2 yrs ago at general conference and it has taken two years and a lot of fasting, prayer, and hard work to finally get to this point!
We are so thrilled that Robert is in Italy for such a special occasion. True, he wasn't actually at the ground breaking...however...to just know that it was happening...what a specail feeling, I'm sure.
Tomorrow in church they will watch the video of the ceremony/celebration that took place today.
For now, here are a few links and pictures that you can go to...
Sorry that most of it is in Italian, but you can see the pictures if nothing else.
The english church website doesn't have much up yet, so Italian will have to do.
