Andriambahiny, Tojohery
Description
Edmond was born to poor farmers with eleven children who divorced. He spent much of his life providing for his mother and his younger siblings. He now works as a security guard for the U.S. Embassy. He married at age twenty-two and had three children. He changed his life and habits after listening to the missionary discussions and attending church, where the members were welcoming. Poverty was his greatest challenge. He hopes to be more self-reliant, though he has been blessed to own a home. He is inspired by stories about Nephi and the Brother of Jared--both able to do things they had no idea how to accomplish through faith and obedience. He worries about inactivity rates, his own Sabbath day observance, and how to minister to others. He says the LDS church is a global church and that the white leaders are the servants of all, so we should be grateful to them. He wants to be able to endure to the end.
