Comments about ‘Survivor of Rwanda horror is fearless, upbeat’

We enjoyed the article and can relate to the story of this young man. My wife and I are the first LDS misisonaries to Rwanda, arriving this past March. We support a burgeoning branch of 70 in Kigali and also perform much needed humanitarian service projects around the country. We have met many wonderful people, including a half dozen young men and women who were orphane in the genocide and have since joined the church and found new hope. We have one elderly member who lost her entire family and recently visted a prison to confront, and foregive, the man who took her loved ones.

Rwanda is making impressive progress in recovering from the genocide, enjoys a stable government without corruption, is safe, and viewed as the emerging blossom on a prickly continent.

It is a "prickly world", not just a continent. It would surprise many to hear stories of fear, terror, intimidation, abuse, and even murder here in the U.S. It may not be genocide, but racial and political terrorism occurs daily -- some even at the hands of local governments and law enforcement. Our justice system is a failure. Efforts to teach the Law of Charity are unheard, unseen, and ignored in the face of the God of Materialism. A prickly world it is waiting for the second coming.
