Sister Amy A. Wright and Sister Kristin Mae Yee Visit Yaounde Mission in Cameroon

The Yaounde Mission in Cameroon received a significant blessing on February 15, 2025. The mission was honored with a visit from Sisters Amy A. Wright, the First Counselor in the Primary General Presidency, and Kristin Mae Yee, Second Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency. They were warmly received by traditional Cameroonian dancers, and welcome remarks by Essomba, a young boy from the Nkomo Branch primary. The sisters were accompanied by Elder Giraud-Carrier, Second Counselor in the Africa Central Area Presidency, his wife Sister Isabelle Sophie Mauclair, and President and Sister Kannar, the Cameroon Yaoundé Mission Leaders.

Sister Wright began her talk with the words of Christ, "Let the little children come to me," creating a warm and engaging atmosphere in the primary class. She interacted with the children through games and drawings. Addressing the parents, she referred to The Family: A Proclamation to the World, emphasizing the value that children hold in God's eyes. She reminded parents of their sacred duty to raise children in love and righteousness, to meet their physical and spiritual needs, to teach them to love and serve one another, to observe God's commandments, and to be respectful citizens. She highlighted that children are the hope and progressive strength of the Church.

Sister Yee began her visit with ministering to a few relief society sisters before proceeding to the Leadership Instruction Meeting. There, she stressed the importance of ministering visits by the sisters and the role they play alongside priesthood holders. She urged everyone to always keep in mind the Savior's Mission, which was essentially based on service. "There is no greater calling than to serve one's neighbour," she said. She emphasized that callings should not be seen as achievements; the most important thing is to be of help to Christ’s work, and to one's neighbour wherever one is.

Sister Kristin Mae Yee added, "Sometimes what we need is not what we are thinking. And the same goes with our callings. We listen to the Voice of the Holy Ghost. Some days he may guide us to be focused on our families, and other days he may guide you to go to a meeting you were not expecting or to minister in a way you were not expecting. Like Nephi, listen to the guidance of the Holy Ghost, and he can help us prioritize our days to have peace, to have joy, and to have meaning."

The following day, Sister Yee met with the Young Single Adults in an afternoon devotional together with Elder Giraud-Carrier. She invited them to strengthen and deepen their relationship with Heavenly Father because they will find strength and confidence in Him. She reminded them to also make studying the words of the prophet part of their daily scriptural habits. Elder Giraud Carrier closed by reminding the Young Single Adults that they are children of God, and they are winners. He said, "Heavenly Father knows us and His only desire is that we can grow and develop ourselves."

After their visit in Cameroon, they will continue with their tour in the Africa Central Area in Addis Ababa Ethiopia, Nairobi Kenya and conclude their visit in Dar Es Salaam Tanzania.
