Wow! This summer has been such an amazing summer! I never would have guessed that we would have the opportunity to baptize this wonderful lady, Pamela! She is our newest friend! And she has blessed our lives so much! This is a crazy story! Crazy meaning, wonderful! So, Kade was out knocking doors one day (for work) and he had already met his goal for the day so he was feeling pretty good about his sales. Well he ran into Pamela. He started talking to her about security systems and mentioned that we were from Utah. She immediately said, "Oh, are you mormon?" He told her that he was. She started asking him questions and come to find out, she had ordered a Book of Mormon off a commercial back in 1989. So she has had this book for quit some time now. Kade told her to go get her Book of Mormon, so she did. She had some misconceptions about the church, which he talked to her about. He started marking places for her to read, and she really started to feel the spirit, which Kade identified to her. She was so happy and excited to start reading. He also set up a time with the missionaries so they could start teaching her. The missionaries came the next day which was a Tuesday and Kade and I also set up a time to come visit her with the missionaries the following Sunday. So we had multiple visits with her on Sunday evenings with the missionaries, and the missionaries also continued to teach her on Tuesday nights. So this has been over a period of about a months worth of time. We also took her to church, which she really loved! She was so ready to accept the gospel. And we have had so many spiritual talks with her about God and Jesus Christ. So she accepted baptizm and she asked Kade to baptize her, so he did today!!!!!! And she asked me to speak at her baptizm! What a great experience! She is such a wonderful person that will always be our friend forever!
Pamela has a wonderful sense of humor! Along with all of the spiritual talks, we had some gut splitting laughs with her! She would get the missionaries laughing so hard that sometimes it was hard to stop! She wasn't quit sure about the suit that she had to wear to be baptized in and then when we wanted pictures with her she said, "Oh, you know what I'm going to look like??? A raisin in a bowl of milk!!!!!" Haaaaa!!!! I was laughing so hard! She is so funny and such a joy to be around! I'm so grateful that we got to have this experience and feel the joy that comes from sharing the gospel!
