This is how we prepare young boys to be missionaries in Africa!

We let them know they are wonderful.  We show them we love them.  And they come on missions.  Simple formula.

This is Derek Boateng, who will be 12 in June and  who comes to Church alone every Sunday.   After his bishop finishes his afternoon meetings, his bishop gives him a ride home.  His immediate family are not members. (His uncle is a member.)
