This sweet lady has had quite the journey, from growing up in a Christian home to becoming one of the newest members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She was found through the friendship of a wonderful family in Tallai Ward after being neighbours and friends for some time. She would often have the kids over, spoil them, "load them up with sugar, then send 'em back!" in her own words. Haha! She and the family became very close, and soon, the fellowship family invited her to meet the missionaries. Many missionaries came and went throughout the following year and a half of investigating the Church, each touching this wonderful lady, and yet she still felt like she wasn't ready to convert to the Church. However, through her faith, prayer, and diligence, she received the answers to her prayers and decided to join the Church of Jesus Christ. Many challenges and trials tried to stop her in her path, as we find too frequently with our friends who are approaching baptism, but through her sacrifices and love for The Saviour and her family, she joined the Church on June 26, 2014. We love her dearly, and know she is and will continue to be a great tool in The Lord's hands for good, and that she and her family will be forever blessed because of her love and diligence and long-suffering for the will of the Lord. Thank you to all the missionaries and members who helped in her conversion, there are many. We and she will be forever grateful. We are so proud of you!
All our love, sincerely, Elder Smith and Elder Coles
