Francky is one of the branch clerks here in Yaoundé. He's bright, honest, pleasant, a delight to be around. Like many of the young men here, he was single. Thursday, July 23, he married Aimee, our first young single adult success! They met for the first time at our young single adult activity back in November. Despite pressure from family, culture, etc. they chose to be married legally--rather than living together as so many do. They're great examples of faith--we are excited for them!
