Some of the Special Work

Here are some of the children from many countries in the Southeast Area of Africa who come to the Temple with their parents to be sealed as eternal families.  Sherry helps tend the children in the "Gatehouse" until they are ready for them to be sealed to their parents.  The children are beautiful and loving and range from babies to teenagers.  Sherry has some very tender spots in her heart from her experiences with these children.

All dressed in white and waiting for their parents. 

Some have traveled so far that they are exhausted after a 30 hour bus ride.

Some are happiest if they are carried like their mothers carry them.

Another Weekend - Another Lion Safari

Why worry about laundry and groceries when there are animals to see!!  Here we are at Lion Safari about 50 minutes outside of Johannesburg.

Here the people are in the cage and the animals run free.
