On May 6th, we went to the first of 3 sessions of the temple dedication at the stake center where it was being broadcasted. Nana (my moms mom), who was visiting from Utah, came with our family too. My two youngest siblings were disappointed that they were too young to go. When we got there, there was a video slideshow was going with pictures of many different temples. The cornerstone ceremony was probably my favorite part because president Monson is such a funny person. Every time he asked someone to come up and put some mortar in, he would make a humorous comment. During the dedicatory prayer, the thunderstorm, which had started at about the time that the session had started, caused some problems so that the connection became so bad that the audio and video completely cut out. We miss a good portion of the prayer completely. Thankfully there is a written version of it:
