Every time there is an article on the Church in nearly any publication, the comments are usually vicious and terrible towards us. I admire those members and non-members alike who defend us and write fair and unbiased comments. Unfortunately, these days I don't have the stomach to read the message boards anymore. One can only consume so much negativity before wanting to wither into nothingness.Gnesileahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17757196258988210760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-18488852176932166432009-08-26T18:07:46.236-06:002009-08-26T18:07:46.236-06:00@Gnesileah

They shared pictures of members traveling to the Aba Nigeria Temple. They traveled for many days in an old bus over muddy roads. After many break downs and getting stuck in the mud, they finally made it. Having a temple was a huge beacon of hope for those members. Hopefully things will calm down and it will reopen soon. That area of the world could really use some peace and stability.<br /><br />DR of the Congo still has ongoing fighting from their civil war, but as far as I know, nearly all the fighting is in the far Eastern part of the country. Kinshasa I think, is pretty stable, so hopefully it can get a temple soon.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08042978485387909624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-72754505929245475832009-08-26T17:42:33.743-06:002009-08-26T17:42:33.743-06:00That is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I were to takee my bet I would say that another temple would be anounced in Africa Within the next 7 years despite what others say about DR of Congo.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00862864409676251291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-12233689989271429362009-08-26T17:17:18.131-06:002009-08-26T17:17:18.131-06:00Here is a link to an article that appeared in the ...Here is a link to an article that appeared in the Deseret News about the closing of the Aba Nigeria Temple:<br /><br />http://www.deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,705325941,00.html?linkTrack=ChurchNews<br /><br />At first, it sounded like the temple was being closed forever, and that would be horrible. I was then reminded that temples routinely close all the time, usually for maintenance or renovation. I guess the difference in this case is that in the past, temples have always closed with the expectation of being reopened on such-and-such date. Here, the closure is indefinite, and the hope is that the violence and problems in the area will subside in the coming weeks, months, or few short years, and the temple will be reopened again. I hope.Gnesileahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17757196258988210760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-19712335880736494722009-08-26T16:52:55.127-06:002009-08-26T16:52:55.127-06:00James do you have a link for the news about the Ab...James do you have a link for the news about the Aba Nigeria Temple closing? I'd like to read about that. I taught a lady from Sierra Leone in Calgary as a missionary and felt there is to be so much more to the Lord's work on that continent.Tod Robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00839443291699465031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-52015729432161597142009-08-26T11:32:43.657-06:002009-08-26T11:32:43.657-06:00Good news and bad news from Africa today.

Elder Holland dedicates Cameroon and the Aba Nigeria temple is shut down indefinitely because of violence.<br /><br />DR of the Congo and Zimbabwe both have fairly large LDS populations but have also had lots of internal turmoil recently. I wonder if what's going on in Nigeria now, will affect future temples in Africa. Will the church be much more reluctant to build in places like DR of the Congo or Zimbabwe?Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08042978485387909624noreply@blogger.com
