Our Missionary Experiences in the Central Africa Area

Sunday, August 31, 2025

 

We attended a wedding of a couple in our branch. Here are a few pictures as well as a picture of us outside the Nairobi Temple. We are busy meeting with missionaries over a video calls most of the day. We find most missionaries respond well and are eager to follow what we share with them. Most of the missionaries are from different parts in Africa. Even though they are on the same continent, each country has it’s own culture and customs. Some missionaries have difficulty adjusting the differences. Some have to learn English, French, or Swahili. About half of the missions we serve are French speaking. Most of the mission leaders are also French speaking s we have a translator to help us. Most of our work is done from our home. On 4 nights of the week we meet on video meetings with mission leaders and medical advisors in a mission health counsel. We are busy. We are settling in and driving is not nearly as terrifying as it was. It is still not a pleasant experience and we pray each time before we go anywhere, but the anxiety related to driving in subsiding.
