Christian Mulomba

Christian Mulombo is a tall, handsome young man who lives in the Johannesburg , South Africa Ward. He loves his family, school, the church, sports and all the good things that young men his age enjoy. He has a keen sense of humor and has a shy infectious smile that endears people to him and always is surrounded by many friends who admire and respect him. His two little sisters adore him and someday his brand new baby brother will feel the same.

Ironing, doing the dishes, helping around the house, and taking care of his dog is a daily occurrence in his life which in the past few months has been especially important. A tragedy occurred in the Mulombo family when Christian’s aunt was killed in an automobile accident leaving five children ages 5 to 14. These children are in Christian’s home now and this has increased the family from six to eleven people and of course a lot more responsibility has been put on his shoulders, which he carries well.
Christian has stood in his ward and expressed a sweet testimony about what a privilege it is to pass the sacrament and he indeed performs that sacred ordinance in a very quiet, dignified way.

Christian has his priorities and goals all in proper order. All he wanted for Christmas a year ago was a suitcase. This was to be his “missionary suitcase.” He will not turn 19 and be eligible for a mission for four more years, yet he is preparing constantly for his mission. That suitcase is right by his bed. He sees it daily and perhaps every time he looks at that suitcase he is reminded what he must do to keep himself worthy to serve our Heavenly Father. He is reminded to keep his standards high by staying morally clean, reading and studying the scriptures, attending his church meetings and even by earning money to go. This suitcase for four more years will be a wonderful, constant reminder to help Christian focus on this honorable goal. He will be more than ready to serve Heavenly Father when the time comes for him to go on his mission.
