December 5th was the ground breaking for the first temple in Portugal, right here in Lisbon! There is alot of excitement about having a temple here. Right now they have to travel to Spain. We can already feel the promised blessings to this country from having a temple here. There was awesome national news coverage about the temple, what it is used for, what the church believes and interviews with many faithful members. They even came to our ward last Sunday to interview 2 of the Elders after meetings! We have noticed that many more people seem to be taking an interest in our badges as we travel about town. There are so many faithful and hardworking members here whose lives center around their testimonies of the Savior and His gospel. They are now being blessed for that dedication by having a temple in their midst. We believe this will be the beginning of the rapid growth of the gospel here as it was in Brazil.

| We couldn't attend the ground breaking ceremony...so we got our own shovel! |
As we were driving around we saw this and thought..."What, they already have a temple in Lisbon!"
Until we noticed that they didn't have the right figure on the top!
