The youth of the church in Liberia - We love them!


Service project for the Bushrod Island Young Men and Young Women. Wearing their Mormon Helping Hands vests, they cleaned along side the road, working their way towards the Duala Chapel.  They didn't even let rain slow them down.  They were so happy and loved to get their picture taken.


Here's Elder Berrett talking with some of the Young Men. It was quite a sight to drive down this bumpy dirt road and see at least 100 youth and their leaders in their yellow vests, working so hard to cut down the vegetation alongside the road - even sweeping the road with large palm leaves.  


Sunday we attended the Point 4 Branch.  I visited in Primary - my favorite place to be.  Being with the children helps fill a little hole in my heart so that I don't miss my grandchildren quite so much.  I told them how much Heavenly Father loves them and so do I.  Then I taught them to sign 'I Love You'.    That's what they are all trying to do in the picture.  They are the future of the church in Africa.  Hopefully we can help prepare them to be it's leaders.
