I am the youngest of nine children in the family, 2 boys and 7 girls. I have a twin. My parents are Gaspard BASUNDU and Christine WENDA. I received from them my Christian faith and a good education. I remember my parents very well and they inspired my vocation. When I was quite young, they took charge of my religious education so I came to know the Lord well.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cCome and see\u201d <\/em>was the invitation of Jesus to his disciples that also echoed in me. When I was young, I started to listen to my desire to follow Christ in religious life.<\/p>\n<p>Some questions dwelt in me, as how? With whom? And why do I feel this call? These questions stayed with me for many years. Today, I see a small window opening, with a ray of light emerging that enlightens my path.<\/p>\n<p>When I was in High School, I joined the parish vocation group of Lokutu, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, composed of boys and girls under the guidance of Sr. V\u00e9ronique LISAKASI, Daughter of Wisdom. Because of her, I came to know the community of the Daughters of Wisdom of Lokutu. My desire to follow Jesus persisted in the midst of the attractions of the world luring young people today.<\/p>\n<p>It was not easy to take the decision to leave my people for a new experience far from home.\u00a0 The desire to know Wisdom grew and gave me the strength to decide. I understood that the One calling me was expecting my generous response.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cCome and follow me\u201d<\/em> was the message of that little voice that echoed in me and gave me the strength to leave my village and to join de Daughters of Wisdom in Kisangani, Congo.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-5567 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-fancybox=\"gallery\" href='https:\/\/www.fdlsagesse.org\/en\/venez-et-voyez-rdc\/vocation-mai-2021-01-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fdlsagesse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vocation-mai-2021-01-1000x563.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Congr\u00e9gation des Filles de la Sagesse\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fdlsagesse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vocation-mai-2021-01-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.fdlsagesse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vocation-mai-2021-01-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fdlsagesse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vocation-mai-2021-01-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fdlsagesse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vocation-mai-2021-01-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.fdlsagesse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vocation-mai-2021-01-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.fdlsagesse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vocation-mai-2021-01-272x153.jpg 272w, https:\/\/www.fdlsagesse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vocation-mai-2021-01.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-fancybox=\"gallery\" href='https:\/\/www.fdlsagesse.org\/en\/venez-et-voyez-rdc\/vocation-mai-2021-03-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fdlsagesse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vocation-mai-2021-03-1000x563.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Congr\u00e9gation des Filles de la Sagesse\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fdlsagesse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vocation-mai-2021-03-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.fdlsagesse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vocation-mai-2021-03-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fdlsagesse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vocation-mai-2021-03-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fdlsagesse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vocation-mai-2021-03-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.fdlsagesse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vocation-mai-2021-03-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.fdlsagesse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vocation-mai-2021-03-272x153.jpg 272w, https:\/\/www.fdlsagesse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vocation-mai-2021-03.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Presently, I am experiencing community life with the Daughters of Wisdom at Kisangani.
