Johannesburg Temple

Yesterday Chris & I spent the afternoon serving as ordinance workers in the temple.  While there I got to spend several hours in the children's room and met a family from Zimbabwe who had come to be sealed together for Time and all Eternity.  Monday night, with just an hours notice (because of one of the children's visas that came through at the last minute) Ane and Ano left Zimbabwe with their mom and dad on a bus at 7pm.  They traveled all night and into the day, arriving at Johannesburg around 2pm where they then got ready and came to the temple.
Ane & Ano.  (English names are Alison and April)

Today I got to dress the little girls all in white and be with them in the sealing room with their mom and dad.  It was such a sweet experience to serve these little girls and feel the families joy in becoming a forever family.


What a blessing we have in the knowledge of eternity and being together forever.  There are things we can choose in this life to bless our lives forever.  What joy the gospel brings into peoples lives.
