The Work of Salvation Continues

Left to Right:  Elder Memel, President Robison, Elder Avana, Elder Akoissa

Today I took these three missionaries to the temple to do work for deceased parents and grandparents.  Each of them did baptisms for grandfathers today and each of them is the only member of the Church in their family.  Elder Avana's father died in 2002 of a sickness and Elder Akoissa's father was killed in the Cote D'Ivoire War in 2012.

Yesterday, Elder Avana met the missionary who baptized him Benin in 2010 at the temple.  Neither knew the other would be there.  What a tearful and joyful reunion it was to be reunited in the temple with one's missionary.  There are no such things as coincidences in the Lord's Church.
