As Consolata Usi and some of her five children were walking down a Kenyan road one day in late 1992, Mormon missionaries approached her and started to tell her about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Although she was interested in what the missionaries had to say, her husband was traveling away for work, so she told them to come back at a later time to speak more with him.
