PREPARED TO ENTER THE HOLY TEMPLE

On January 26th we were privileged to travel to Johannesburg, South Africa to attend the temple with a group of saints from Tanzania who were going there to do their own temple work. The trip was not without its problems and challenges, but we were blessed to be able to accomplish the important work that we went there to do.

President and Sister Kachuchuru of the Kinondoni II Branch

It was wonderful to be able to witness sealings of husband and wife, and especially to see family units joined together for eternity in the House of the Lord! We were so happy to be able to attend the temple again after a year. We take the temples for granted because they are so available to us. These great saints will likely never make it back to the temple because of distance and expense. They were so grateful to be able to go. The temple patron fund is a wonderful program that allows saints to go to the temple who otherwise could not afford to go. Donating to this fund is a way that we can help special people find their way to the temple.
