April 29th was the day that officially the temple was declared finished and ready for occupancy. There are a few minor finishes to be made but for the best part of the building it is finished. It was turned over to the Church and so was security. Our staff is now in place with the exception of one Officer in Charge and that spot will be filled soon.
On the 30th a Open House for the construction workers and their families came to view the temple. The church welcomed them with some refreshments and films with an overview of the church. We invited the president of our outsourse security that we hired for 6 guards. Her name is Michele and she showed great interest in the church as I showed her around the temple patron housing and inside the temple. Many of the police officers were really interested in the pictures so I was able to do some missionary explanations and found it was SO well received. Some even moved to tears. It was wonderful!!!!
