Brima Mansoly, June 25, 2010
Brima was a golden investigator from the beginning. He approached us on the street and told us that he had found the church in Sierra Leona and that he wanted to be baptized. It was smooth sailing from there. He is the most quiet African brother you will ever meet, but he has great faith. He had a couple hard times during the teaching process, hearing about the loss of a family member in Sierra Leona and losing contact with his wife and daughter. He always pushed through though and never lost his faith in his Heavenly Father. The Baptismal Service was an amazing experience for everyone present. Washed clean, the first thing he did when he came out of the water was say thank you and throw his arms around Elder Waldie. We waited outside his dressing room and were surprised to see him come out with a big smile and a tie on (we had no idea he could tie a tie). It was a joyous experience and we will never forget the Spirit we felt that day.
From Elders Marshall and Waldie, in Arnhem.
