Today was a historic day for our town Mission, Texas and the ward members that live here. We finally are getting our first chapel built here. We have had to commute to McAllen my whole life to go to church, and now we will have a chapel just a mile away. What a blessing this will be to the faithful members of our area and it has been a long journey to get this far. We have gone through trials and tests, neighbors protesting our church, being denied a building permit TWICE, etc! The church bought the land even though we were denied the permits, what courage and faith! This has not been easy and because of faith from our leaders and the members we were able to get the help that we needed to get the permits. Our community is learning what our church is about and we are trying our best to be good examples in our community. I am so glad to have been a part of this historic moment for our ward.
