"Low Hanging Fruit"

Zachariah is a nineteen year old who heard something about "Devil Worshiper" and Mormons and so decided to check it out.  When he went to church and heard the speakers he was quickly disabused of that notion and began feeling the spirit.  We were at some of our other five branches and the young missionaries were in transit and so he sort of "fell though the cracks" missionary wise, but still he kept coming week after week.  When his family found out he was attending a devil worshiping church they threw him and his meager belonging out. They even feared he might kill them all.  When we first met him he was sleeping on the lawn in front of the chapel and had been for several nights - no blanket or pillow.  Obviously we fixed that and he's now living with the branch President and his family (President Kwendo pictured above on the left).  He will continue living with them and finishing form four (High School) until his mission in one year.  Needless-to-say he is something special ("My sheep shall hear my voice") and has an amazing testimony, so it really shouldn't have been much of a surprise when a General Authority (Elder Joseph W. Satati) of the First Quorum of the Seventy) just happened to show up at church today.  We asked if he would be willing to stay after to preside at the baptism. Not only did he preside but he and Sister Sitati spoke (they were there visiting their daughter who lives in the branch). Pretty amazing!
