We took E/S Ellis out for a couple of hours to show them how to get to a couple of places that they will be going to over the next few days. After showing them the Mission Home and the Plantation Stake Center we went to the Pines chapel where they will go most Sundays. On the way back we stopped by the temple site so they could see the how it was going and so they could meet brother Mark Barry. A great bonus was a picture of Mark smiling…something I have not been able to do for the last year as he tends to be camera shy. We have a lot of fun kidding each other about my attempts to get him to talk about when the temple will be finished and my taking and posting pictures of the progress. I told him was going to train elder Ellis to take my place as an annoyance after I leave.

  

As you can see by the pictures they are busy moving dirt around as the sculpt the landscape. They have run a lot of the conduit for outside power. We did not see it but brother Barry said they have started to layout the main parking lot. E/S Ellis will be here for the open house and the dedication!
