...who I call, I qualify and will sustain their faith...

   Vivian Kumedrzo was baptized 10 September 2011. She was 22 years old and in her first year of High School attending Kwabeng Secondary School. The missionaries were referred to her by a classmate who was her friend in the boarding school. With help from the branch president who was a teacher at the school, Vivian embraced the Gospel teachings and has blossomed in the Church. She was called to serve as a counselor in the Young Women presidency, and faithfully attended to her duties and taught inspired lessons from the manual. Her ability to read and write English was most needed in the Young Women organization.     Within nine months, she was called to be the 2nd counselor in the Relief Society along with two other sisters who had only been members of the church a year before Vivian was baptized. She was counseled to be humble and the Lord would make her an instrument in His hands. With that blessing, she continued her faithful service to the Lord and His saints in Kwabeng. Her efforts at school brought two other girls to the Gospel truths and they were baptized before the end of the school term. May 5, 2013, 14 months after joining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, two weeks before she passed all of her exams and received a certificate of completion for Secondary Schooling, I was present as she was sustained as the Kwabeng Branch Relief Society President. Hands were raised tall as her name was read by the new Branch President whose wife had filled that position prior to his new assignment. O what a grand testament to the words of the Lord “…who I call, I will qualify and sustain their faith.”
   Yesterday, I witnessed this young lady stand and accept the thanks and gratitude by the whole Kwabeng Branch, as they once again raised their hands in support while she was released as the Relief Society President. She had accepted a call from the Prophet of God to serve faithfully for 18 months on a full time mission. Eyes were filled with tears after that meeting, as embraces were exchanged and loving support was promised for their beloved Vivian Kumedzro who loved them all, unconditionally. For truly she is an Angel among us.
