It was Friday, October 7, 2022, on the occasion of the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, Protector and Model of the Congregation. That day was a great joy for me as I took the first steps of my vocation in the Congregation of the Dominican Missionaries of the Rosary, to which I had aspired for many years. During the first years of my aspirancy, I always wondered if
I am so happy to receive your letter that my spirit is inspired to answer you. I read it silently with great encouragement. My spirit was filled with peace and my eyes were filled with joy. Your message touched me deeply and encouraged me more to walk in the way of Jesus. I always feel that you are walking with me. The world today lacks peace and in many, there
In the month of April 2023, we, the postulants of the Yaoundé community, had an experience of working with the elderly in the Congregation of the Missionary Sisters of Charity. The elderly of this community are cared for by the Sisters and by a large group of recruited people who help them to take care of the elderly.

They say that to leave is to die a little. Perhaps this explains the beautiful words, the tears and the endless hugs from the people who accompanied us and also from all those who came to say goodbye.

Here I am re-entering the Province of St. Martin de Porres since September 1 of this year.

At Saint Dominique de Batcham College, students are supervised with the help of teachers and sisters assigned in the village of Batcham, Cameroon. Educating young people is at the heart of our mission because they are the future of tomorrow. In our world today, the youth live in an environment in which there is a loss of values. This impacts their education, leading them to commit despicable acts in society.
I thought of all the blue skies of my post-novitiate that the experience of community life and mission had in store for me. Also, I was very happy to know that I would have to do the Intercontinental Juniorate. From that day on, I could not wait to go there in spite of the process of waiting for the trip.

On the occasion of the missionary month, our community was invited by a school complex to share our missionary experience in each of our countries. It was a great joy for us to share these powerful moments with these children and even with the supervisors.
