Nigerian students/John's baptism

From Left: Anziano Fitzner, me, John, Endurance, Emmanuel, Anziano Bellows, JJ and Destiny.

We have the great privilege of teaching Institute classes to these wonderful young men. They are all from Nigeria originally and all have very interesting faith filled stories to tell about their lives.  They are new members of the church (within the last 2 years)and all have left their families in Nigeria to find a better life.  This choice has been extremely difficult for all of them and learning a new language has been expecially hard for them so Anz. Fitzner is teaching Italian to them for 1/2 hour before we begin Institute class every Monday night.  

We were thrilled to be at John's baptism.  Anziano Chugg baptised him.  John asked that Anziano Cannon and I speak at the service.  All the missionaries sang "When Jesus Christ was baptised". At the end of the meeting John spoke and bore his testimony. 

 Here is Anziano Chugg with Destiny, Godwin, Endurance and John.

Anziano Cannon confirmed him a member.  We are teaching Samuel (on the end) and so we invited him to attend as well so needed to get him in the picture!
