Saturday was an exciting day for the Elk River ward. We attended the ground breaking for their new chapel. The people in this area have waited a long time to have a chapel close. Most of the ward members travel at least 30 minutes to church. I
It was a chilly day, but everyone was so excited to be there. The building should be done next summer.
This is Julie and Cameron's ward. It's only about 5 minutes from their new home. The girls were excited to bring their own shovels and had a great time digging in the dirt!
One day a farm....the next, a new LDS Church. It's great to see the church growing here in Minnesota. There is actually enough land here for a small Temple. Who knows?? Maybe someday.......

Blessings on your new chapel!!!!
How exciting! I didn't even know that was happening! That will be so great for that ward!
I love those pictures. It is so great to see the church growing and so close to us!
Linda- I love the pictures! Would you mind e-mailing them to me jrekstad7@yahoo.com, I tried to take them from here but they came out fuzzy, I thought maybe if I got them through e-mail they might look better. You can send them all, but I would really like the group shot of the primary & of the bishopric people. Thanks linda, and we can't wait for the building to be completed:)

Bob didn't tell me about the ground breaking, but we drove past this afternoon. It is so exciting to see the church grow. Looks like a pretty big building. Maybe a stake center someday?
