We were able to see church buildings in several cities including in the small branch in Moramonga which was just formed a few months ago. We met the caretaker of the building and his family.
Tomorrow a beautiful new stake center near the American Embassy will be dedicated.
We had dinner with two of the young missionaries serving here. One of the missionaries who is from Tahiti told us the story of a man who was recently baptized into the church. He was a pastor in another faith. He met with the missionaries and had a witness at the time of that first visit of the truthfulness of the restored gospel.
Shortly thereafter he had a dream in which he saw himself and his wife at the temple. He was baptized and is doing well despite opposition from his former congregation. The elders noted that often when someone accepts the message of the restoration, it happens on their first visit with the missionaries. "For mine elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts." Doctrine and Covenants 29:7
