We just returned from a three day temple trip with the
Gaborone West Young Single Adult Ward from Thursday, 25 April, to Saturday, 27
April. We had a very enjoyable time for one of the last things to do on our
mission.
Twenty-six went on the trip. Sixteen rode in a kombi and the
rest traveled in three cars. It is a five hour drive. We stayed two nights in
the temple patron housing and ate our meals in the dining room there. Thursday night we had chicken-ala-king over
rice and cabbage salad for dinner. Friday morning we had chicken livers and
toast for breakfast. For lunch we had a
choice of hamburgers or fish and chips. Friday
night we had ox liver, potatoes, and salad for dinner.
Thursday afternoon we attended an endowment session in the
temple. In the evening we attended the Johannesburg 2nd Ward institute
class and had a devotional with them after institute. Both were very enjoyable.
Several of the young single adults took the names of deceased family
members to do baptisms and sealings for them. It was special to get to help them do work for their ancestors. Friday morning some members did
endowments while others performed baptisms for the dead. In the afternoon the
endowed members attended an endowment session and the a few of us performed
sealings. After dinner we met with the
Johannesburg 2nd Ward again for a braai (barbecue) and games and
dancing.
Saturday morning we drove straight home while the rest of
the group stopped at an amusement park on the way home.
