SOUTH AFRICA DURBAN TEMPLE OPEN HOUSE



GLIMPSES OF THE DURBAN TEMPLE OPEN HOUSE

(Thank you to Sister Howell for providing these photos and information)

So many branch, ward members, and missionaries participated in the temple open house!

Sister Howell said, 

"Elder Rasband will dedicate the Temple along with Elder Carl B. Cooke.  In the April 2019 Conference talk given by Elder Cooke, entitled "The Quorum:  A Place of Belonging"  he told the story of the "Band of Brothers" from Botswana.  

Elder Cooke is bringing the "Band of Brothers" to the dedication with him."


I encourage you to read the article before the dedication!


 A VIP day was held for honored guests. They welcomed guests from all nationalities and faiths.

 Besides our distinguished Sister Howell and Sister Gray, the lady in black is the 
Lesotho Consulate.

 Gary Player, is a retired South African professional golfer, and perhaps one of the greatest golfers of all time visits the temple standing next to Brother Howell.

 Jane of Huntley House Bed and Breakfast where most of our Senior Missionaries stay when they first arrive! Her daughter Emily visited the temple.

She wanted to touch the hand of Jesus! Same!
