Their bus caught fire
and burned to the ground
Consumed in four minutes
Only the steel frame was left
Luckily no one died
One or two were injured
They escaped with
the clothes on their backs
Many lost all their money
Others lost cameras and cell
phones, suitcases, extra clothes
and their important documents
They had to stand
by the side of the road
for over an hour waiting
for their replacement bus
Finally the bus arrived
Now they had a choice
Return to Fortaleza
or continue to Recife
Every single one
All forty-eight of them
voted to go to Recife to
complete their temple ordinances
They lost some worldly goods
but perhaps they gained
something of much more value
