GATE OF NO RETURN

Elmina Castle takes you back to the origins of slave trade, and as you enter the castle and see and hear the horrific stories of how men and women were treated it is as if someone has stabbed you in the heart. On our visit there, Elder Terry is standing at the "Gate of No Return". This is the last gate and look at their country before the slaves were put on ships to cross the ocean. I'm thankful for historians that we can travel back in time to see man's inhumanity to mankind. May it be a sacred lesson that we are all Heavenly Father's children, and look upon each other as brothers and sisters who we have the privilege to love!
