This is Elder Bernard Etienne Fety. He arrived in the mission field in mid-February, 2010, with Lubumbashi as his first assignment . Along with the interesting things about the Congo and the travel logs, it's important to hear the tender stories of faith and testimony that we see around us every day. They are nothing huge, but they are world changing for those to whom they happen.
This week when we visited the apartment where Elder Fety lives, Elder Fety proudly showed us his tie and announced that he was wearing his "testimony tie." With curiosity, we asked him why he called it that. He said that he was taught the gospel in Madagascar by an American missionary. The day they met, the elder was wearing this tie. He said that he gained his testimony from his experience that day. When he was baptized the elder gave him the tie. Now, he wears it to help him as he shares his testimony with others. Last week Elder Fety had his first baptisms ever, five of them. What a great young man! It is impossible not to love and learn from these young, faithful elders!
