Ground Broken for Tarawa Kiribati Temple
Bright and early on Saturday the 2nd of November, the skies and the sea were blue, and the sun was shining.
A group of enthusiastic members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were busying themselves with the final checks and preparations needed for receiving guests at the Tarawa Kiribati Temple Groundbreaking, scheduled for later in the day.
The groundbreaking ceremony formally signals the commencement of the temple’s construction and is a reason for great rejoicing among the more than 28,000 Latter-day Saints living on the coral atolls and islets that make up the nations of the Republic of Kiribati and the Republic of the Marshall Islands.
Elder Jeremy R. Jaggi, General Authority Seventy, accompanied by his wife, Sister Amy Jaggi, warmly greeted His Excellency Taneti Maamau, President of Kiribati and First Lady Madam Teiraeng Maamau.
Mr. Willie Tokataake, Speaker of the House; Her Excellency Ms. Karen Bray, Australian High Commissioner; His Excellency Mr. André van der Walt, New Zealand High Commissioner; His Excellency Mr. Zhou Limin, Chinese Ambassador; and other distinguished guests also attended the groundbreaking.
