I was baptized in Egypt. We had been living there for a few years because of my father’s work. My grandfather baptized me, and it was truly a special experience. I felt the Spirit. On that day I felt support from all of my ward members, but especially from Heavenly Father. I know that I made a good choice.

There are no temples in Egypt or in the surrounding countries. But when we moved to France, I could go to the temple in Switzerland. This was before the Paris France Temple was built.

The first time I went to the Bern Switzerland Temple, I went with my family and friends. This experience brought me great joy. We all felt the Spirit. I knew that what I was doing was good and that God was proud of our work. I know that the temple brings us many blessings. When we make time to do the temple work for our ancestors, Heavenly Father blesses us. He will be happy with what we have done for His children in His house.
