Jessica, Brent and I spent some time on Tuesday witnessing Angel Moroni being placed on the Brigham City Temple.  We waited in the rain...which actually wasn't too bad because it kept it nice and cool.  There were lots of people there; it was estimated to be a crowd of nearly 5,000.  It was originally scheduled to take place at noon, but due to strong winds, it was delayed.

We went across the street to Ricardo's and ordered some lunch and while we were waiting for our lunch, one of our friends got a text saying that the winds had died down enough and they were going forward.  We told the waitress that we'd be right back...and the funny thing was...everyone else in the restaurant did the very same thing.

One of the construction workers blew an air horn, symbolizing Angel Moroni's trumpet, and away he went.  We are really excited to see the progress of the temple and look forward to its completion.  Each month, our family is participating in a bunch of challenges...we call it the "Shaffer Family Brigham City Temple Challenge."  These challenges are hopefully preparing us to be more spiritually prepared for the opening of the temple.  (Plus...there are monthly motivational prizes given...who doesn't love a prize?)
