African Name for Ainslie

Leipzig is a unique city for missionary work because they only have sister missionaries here, and they make up their own district. Yesterday, the sisters invited us to attend a family home evening with them and one of their investigators, a man named Victor from Nigeria. The evening went well, and Janae was really in her element sharing the gospel with someone from Africa. Victor was excited when he heard that Janae has an African name from her mission (Amarachi – Grace of God), and he offered to come up with a name for Ainslie. The lesson was on the tree of life, so Janae whipped up a dandy of a cake with lots of desirable fruit. It was great. Victor, who is here studying mechanical engineering, was a very nice man, and he has a great love for the Bible. We really enjoyed the chance to share a little bit of the Book of Mormon with him. Josh was also interested to talk with him about the political situation in Nigeria. The African name for Ainslie? Chigozie – Gift from God.
The church house here in Leipzig is beautiful, so we thought it was probably worth posting a picture of it.
