Unfortunately...

Jerome and Kilief are now too old to go to EFY again.

We are all consoled by the fact that they will be going on missions instead!!!!

Jerome will be leaving for the Johannesburg Mission Training Center on May 16th for a short visit before serving for 2 years in the Uganda Kampala Mission.

Kilief will be attending the Ghana Mission Training Center on August 24th before serving in the Ghana, Accra Mission!

Jerome and Kilief were fortunate to have met with Elder Neil L. Anderson on 2 separate occasions in the last few years.  As a result, he took a personal interest and personally handled both Kilief and Jerome's mission calls.  

EFY has played a pivotal role in helping these 2 young men be confident in who they are.  It gave them strength to live the Gospel and make the difficult decision to serve missions.  Just to give you an idea of how significant this is, Kilief and Jerome are the first 2 youth native to West Philadelphia to go through the Young Men's organization to receive the Melchezidek Priesthood.  Likewise, they will be the first to serve full-time missions setting an amazing precedent for other young men to follow in their footsteps!
