What happens when you share a tie.

THE TESTIMONY TIE
Elder Bernard Etienne FetySubmitted by Elder Brent and Sister Lorrayne Jameson, Senior Missionaries, Cape Town, SA

Elder Bernard Etienne Fety arrived in the mission field in mid-February, 2010, with Lubumbashi as his first assignment . His tender story of faith and testimony has been world changing for him and many he contacts.

This week when we visited the apartment where Elder Fety lives, he 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 Elder Fety 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!
