In early 2010 there was a massive earthquake very close to Concepcion. Since then construction workers and materials have been used in rebuilding the city. But rumor on the street is that the temple groundbreaking will be soon. We are so excited to be here during the building of the temple. We can see the temple site out our window and it is an easy walk from our home. Here's an aerial view of the site also courtesy of http://www.ldschurchtemples.com/concepcion/

"As we go to the holy house, as we remember the covenants we make therein, we will be able to bear every trial and overcome each temptation. The temple provides purpose for our lives. It brings peace to our souls - not the peace provided by men but the peace promised by the Son of God when He said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." President Thomas S. Monson
I'm still hoping for a groundbreaking AND a dedication while you're there!
