In 1992, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was officially recognized in Burundi, Africa. However, for various reasons, including civil unrest, missionary work has not been able to proceed there… until now. Last week, my parents (along with another couple and 6 young missionaries) left Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo, the place they’ve called home for the past year, and headed out on a new adventure to Bujumbura, Burundi—Africa.
The picture below shows in red, all the countries where there are missionaries. The little white dot right in the middle is the country of Burundi. We are grateful that mom and dad have the privilege of being part of filling in that dot.
What an amazing adventure they are having. There is not enough blog space or time to write all of the incredible experiences they have had. We are so proud of them and grateful for their selfless service to the people of Africa. We know they have done so much good there. However, being there has also blessed their lives and ours SO much.
But, don’t get too comfortable there in Africa, because we’re excited to see you in March. YAY! We love you mom and dad!
