As I drove up to the house they were staying, I wanted to have prayer with them before they entered the temple for the first time; so I said to them, “Let’s gather together to have prayer”. They said we have already had a devotional, with prayer, song and a short talk. These people were ready for the temple; they have such faith and love for the Savior.
The last day was a very spiritual day for us all but for the Ninjini family it was a miracle. We were sitting in the sealing room doing deceased couples sealing when a thought came into my mind, that the sealer doesn’t have the name of the living couple in that room to be sealed to their deceased parents. I went downstairs to the office and Sister Renee Uperesa gave me a sheet that I needed to write down the living person that needed to be sealed to the name of the deceased parents, which I did and then hurried back to give it to the Sealer. With a sigh of relief I was enjoying the sealing’s when a feeling came over me again that something was wrong. It wouldn’t leave so I took out the member’s family group sheets and went over them again with their pedigree charts looking for something that I missed. I couldn’t see anything but the feeling was getting stronger and the time for the session was almost over. This will be the last time that these members will ever make it to this temple and I needed to be sure that all the work was completed that needed to be done. I still couldn’t see the problem so I decided to ask each family member if everyone in their family was sealed to them. I went to the Ninjini family first and asked if everyone had been sealed to them when Sister Ninjini with tears in her eyes said to me, “when will my son, be sealed to me”. So I asked Brother Ninjini to come with me out in the hall so we could talk. I asked him about the son, he said that he needed to adopt him. On his family group sheet the boy had a different name. (Ninjini Family)

The amazing thing was that President Gollaher personally took care of Brother Ninjini and guided them through the baptism, the confirmation, the initiatory room and within 45 minutes, we were all in the 6:00 p.m. endowment session. What an emotional session it was, Sister Ninjini was in tears the whole session and so was I. During the session several times she would look at me and squeeze my hand and say “Thank you, Sister Mills”. The spirit was so strong and I knew that Anthony was there with his mother in spirit. Then President and Sister Gollaher took us into a sealing room so they could be sealed together forever, again the spirit was so strong in that room, there was not a dry eye and you knew Anthony and others were there.
On this temple trip with the dear saints of Ebeye I learned that God is aware of all of his children. This is His work and He is in control and He is with us to make sure that the work is done. I am very humbled to have been the Lord’s instrument to helping the families to the temple so they are now Eternal Families. With God’s help anything is possible and I am very grateful that I was a part of a miracle in the Ninjini family.
The experience related above is only one of the many small miracles that took place in getting these sweet saints prepared to go and also while they were in the temple.
