Elder Terry, Moses, Yazid, Elder Cooley
Senkumba Moses and Njala Yazid!!! These two guys are POWERFUL!!! We have been teaching them for the past 3 weeks. They are both referrals from a YSA in the ward (just got his mission call to Sierra Leone) named Vincent.
Moses is extremely incredible. He truly has a testimony and understands the Gospel! Friday, before he was baptized, took him with us to teach a lesson to an investigator. He bore powerful testimony of Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon.
Yazid has been investigating for almost a year. He didn’t' use to come to church very often, but he was always at Institute and Seminary. He gained his testimony there. He was supposed to be baptized last June, but I guess he wasn't ready then. I think it was just a matter of time and being around members that helped prepare him for this weekend.
They were both baptized on Sunday! It was a really spiritual experience. One of my favorite baptisms on my mission so far! Moses bore his testimony in sacrament meeting, and Yazid later after the baptism along with Moses again. It’s incredible the change that has come to them and the testimony they have gained through the spirit! They both want to serve missions in the next year and are willing to do everything it takes to make that happen. I know they are converted to the Gospel and will continue to increase in their conversion.

This is the reason I came on my mission. To do this work and to see this happiness in peoples lives. Its Incredible how much my testimony has grown and changed in the past 16 months, and even more in the past 2 months since Ive been here in Mukono. I love this Church, I love the Book of Mormon and I love my Savior Jesus Christ for giving me this opportunity to be this happy.
