I am so grateful for the church that was opened in Kasane, I was born and raised in Kasane, I became a member this year in January 21st it is Such a blessing in my life it has blessed my life so so marvelously. It is such a great peace to be a member of the church of Jesus Christ. I didn’t know about the church until I came to Florida last year.

Thank you for sharing Corn, we love you in the name of the lord Jesus Christ.

We love Cornelia too and are happy to have met you in Harare. You are a great example to all. We have been to Botswana twice now to Chobe Park, thanks to you. Thanks for telling your story and helping others to have strength and faith to go forward.

What a wonderful story. I hadn’t realized how isolated from other members of the church you are. You are amazing, and your story is so uplifting. Thanks for being who you are and counting Elder Mayfield and me as friends. We are so glad our paths crossed in Africa.

For those of us who know and love Cornelia, we are SO GRATEFUL for her wonderful example of Enthusiasm in sharing The Gospel message to ALL around her, the Courage she has to stand for what she ‘knows’ to be correct, her absolute Faith in ‘trying times’ regardless of her challenges, her tangible ‘joy’ in finding other Members of the Gospel in her area where they are now able to partake of The Sacrament each Sabbath Day together!!
We love and appreciate your TERRIFIC Example in doing what is right, regardless of your challenges!! (Besides, you have a great golf swing!!!)
Hugs,
Reeve, Laurette & Cecilie
P.S. Keep writing, it is FUN to read!!

Thank you for letting me know when it will publish. I will love to read it. When we visited with Corn in December of 2009 the branch was not yet established so we are so thrilled for the wonderful saints there! I was so inspired and amazed at the beautiful people in Kasane. Corn was so faithful and strong in her testimony that she glowed with it! The spirit in her home is beautiful. There wasn’t a church to visit or Sunday meetings to attend, and yet they lived and loved the gospel and we saw Corn showing love to all around her. In her neighborhood, at the market, at work. She is such an example of Christlike loving and living. We are so excited for them to have a branch established so they can meet together and partake of the sacrament. Can’t wait to hear all about it! XOXOX Love you Corn!!

Oh my goodness Corn! I just happened to run across this wonderful article written by you! It was such a splendid surprise! How lovely to hear your story written in your own words and it stirs such memories and feelings inside me of our time spent with you in Kasane! I’m going to have to see if I can find the “first Mormon Sacrament Meeting” article. I’m assuming it’s on here by now! Love you tons and it’s so great to hear about you!!! You are an amazing woman and I miss you and Kasane!!
Love you!
