Welcome Elder Andriamitansoa-Jan. 4

Elder A. can't believe he is in NAMIBIA!

Elder Leach with his new companion, Elder Andria,meetn,sota. That is the pronounciation guide. I have to think first and then speak, but it does work. Elder A. is from Madagascar and is a wonderful addition to our other 5 elders. He came Jan. 4, 2012 and will be leaving Feb. 15th unless a miracle happens with Visas.

As in August 2011, all of our Elders will be departing Namibia on transfer date, Feb. 15, 2012. We have had all of our visa requests denied. Now it is up to Heavenly Father to open the gates. We will only be here until March 20th.  We have two couples that we submitted visa papers for in October.  We pray that they will be granted 1 year visas so that the missionary work may continue.

Our branches have been preparing for this and have called and trained wonderful branch missionaries to take over if all of us have to leave. The work will continue as has been prophesied "
