Elder Bellomy's reports that his current area is about 60% African immigrents. He recently wrote us about Abraham from Liberia.
Abraham had been attending a local church for four years without being baptized or becoming a member. The members of the Church gathered and prayed over Abraham. Elder Bellomy reports as an apparent result of the experience, Abraham had a dream after the prayer or later that evening. In the dream, Abraham saw people with white shirts and ties like the missionaries...but that the dream ended before he could introduce himself to them.
Abraham took the dream to have special spiritual meaning because he left that Church a few days later and began searching for the men he saw in his dream. His search ended when he found Elder Zhang and Elder Bellomy and recognized them from his dream.
In a special circumstance, Abraham had a Mormon friend, Brother Konoboe from Africa, that helped him take the missionary lessons.
Abraham from Liberia was baptised on July 17th as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
