Yesterday’s
answer:
A His flight
to the New Zealand Temple
Airfare from Tahiti to New Zealand represented
approximately eight month’s wages. Taumatagi Taamino, a middle-aged sister who
did heavy custodial work, typically ate only three sardines and a piece of
bread each day so she could save money to attend the temple. Sixty-four other
Tahitians similarly sacrificed to make the trip to the temple. Being aware of
this group’s difficult financial situation, Church members in New Zealand
arranged to pick them up at the airport, bus them seventy-five miles, and house
and feed them near the temple at no cost. One of the visitors was Tahaure
Hutihuti, a seventy-five year old pearl shell diver who had saved for over
thirty years to come to the temple. When the group arrived just after midnight,
they saw the floodlighted temple atop a knoll, Hutihuti and others climbed off
the bus, knelt on the ground, and offered a prayer of thanks, The dream of a
lifetime was realized; he could now be sealed to his wife and forebears.
