There were a couple of Americans from the military base who went with us. One was a young mom, who was pregnant, and not feeling great, but wanted to go to the temple so much that she put aside her own discomfort, and came anyway. The other American, was Kevin Bonner, who has four kids and a darling wife, who stayed home, so that he could come and take care of three African converts, ere were refugees who had joined the church this past year. They have no money, no jobs and are so humble and grateful for the gospel. He kept them right next to him the whole time. He cooked all their meals for them, he took them to do baptisms and and he talked and talked and explained the gospel to them so wonderfully. I kept watching him all week and thought that he was the one person there at the temple who was truly doing the Lord's work. He is pictured below in the previous posting, in our group picture in front of the temple, on the left with the three African young men.
On the last day, as I went down to clean out what was left of our food in the frig. And the food in the cubbies, I saw him sitting talking with the young adults from our branch. He was answering their questions about how to receive personal revelation, how to pray, how to get answers from the scriptures. I admire him and appreciate his time and love for other.
