President Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the Aba Nigeria Temple on Sunday, August 7, 2005. Two weeks later a courageous group of Saints from Cameroon boarded two mini-buses and headed to the temple. The two branches of the Church in Cameroon are Douala and Yaounde. Members from both branches were included in this trip. As the crow flies, Aba is only about 175 miles west of Douala. Douala is 125 miles west of Yaounde. The roads from Douala to Aba are not direct, nor are they paved.

These Saints, accompanied by Elder and Sister Badger, set off on a real life adventure.

    Peace!!!!

  • Per the Crosslins - temple workers this group saved for a very long time to save enough money to rent these two vans. There were 17 in each van. The trip took about 64 hours. In fact they took pictures with one wedding dress and each bride wore that dress. They all said "we will be back".

    This group was also held up at customs in Camaroon and had to sleep in a tiny shack. The missionary couple was stopped at the border and had to stay in a shack but had no passport to enter Nigeria.

  • This group came onto the temple complex muddy but smiling. Before the temple closed that day, some of them came and the temple was held open to hold an extra session that evening for them. This group stayed for three days, they all were married (sealed) by the 2nd day. Finally on the third day all of this group participated in one session together. They all stood in front of the van ready to go home, and many were in tears as this entire group wanted to stay longer.

  • One of the amazing parts of this historic journey was how many fit into that medium size van. I was also told that (and I am not sure it was this group) that the women only could afford and brought one wedding dress. Each was sealed in the dress as they traded from one sister to another. What a venture of faith and great sacrifice as they all made it on faith and courage!
