It is early morning on Saturday, January 10, 2003, as a group gathers in a large room in the LDS office building on Ghana’s temple square. Their historic task for the next few minutes is to put documents, pictures and books into a box that will be inserted into the cornerstone of the temple to be dedicated the next day.
