Heber Valley Temple groundbreaking with Russell M. Nelson. Looks like they’ve downgraded to regular old Home Depot shovels.

Looks like the gold shovel thing wasn’t worth getting too worked up about.
Along with a lot of other things.
Fills up space on a discussion board though.

I doubt there’s any real gold involved; probably just painted to look like gold.

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

Those types of gold ceremonial shovels, with engraving on the handles, only run about $100 a pop. The framing and soft fill for the corporate PR ceremony probably cost more than those smarmy executive souvenirs.
