How does the Church work in Nigeria?

Just the same way it does in the US of A. Last Sunday in Sacrament Meeting we participated in the releasing and sustaining of members from callings to new callings, exactly the way we do at home. Those released, stood, and received a vote of thanks. Those sustained, stood, sustaining and any opposed were asked to so signify and then "setting aparts" took place in the appropriate settings. Today, the High Priests sustained a new Assistant to the High Priest Group Leader in the Ojuda Ward and then, in High Priest Group, he was set apart by a member of the Lagos Nigeria East Stake Presidency and the others in the High Priest Group. Same, same. Next, we drove back from the Ojuda Ward, on what they call the Express Way for the first time, (more later) and participated in the baptisms of two new members. One is a widow with two children. She is in her 30's and was raised in the "M" faith, which is not to convert. Long story and I'll have to figure out how to store it and tell it later. The one piece I should share is that she supports herself and her children from a "shop" she owns. Shop, in this case is a wooden structure with merchandise displayed inside and from which, she does her business. Her former husband is "Late". Her mother is "Late" and her parents-in-law are both "Late", which means they have passed on, like "the late so and so". They are "Late". Her father lives in a far, far village and she has no other relatives to object to her joining the Church. The other was a father of 5 children, husband to one wife, like me, and he joined because wife and children were being "too slow". He wanted the blessings now. Baptism ceremony all same, same, like at home with one very striking difference. The men baptizing and being baptized were dressed in elegant, long, white African tunics with white pants underneath, instead of white jump-suits. Linda thought it very nice looking. Young men prepare, bless and pass the Sacrament, just like at home, all same, same. Elder Ade-Shina Olu Kanee was in attendance. He is an Area Authority whose work assignment is Public Relations Director for all of Africa. He and his wife have raised 12-14 foster children, most are adults now and one of his "grandchildren" was with him. His wife and their first natural child were also there. The wife was 46 when this little girl was born. So how do they do it in Africa....the same, same, like in America! Pretty amazing.
