Aimee’s story began before she even realized. Aimee, a native from “The Selva” of Perú, was living in Perú while her boyfriend, Danny, his brother, Denny, and Denny’s girlfriend, Melissa, began meeting with the missionaries in Cleveland, TN. Danny, Denny, and Melissa began learning the gospel with the support of local family members, but soon after those missionaries were transferred to a new area and lost contact with the missionaries. However, they continued to be supported by their family members.
Fast forward a year, and one of the original missionaries who first taught Aimee’s family was transferred back to Cleveland and swiftly started teaching Danny, Denny, and Melissa again. However, during the past year, Aimee immigrated to the United States to be with Danny, so when the missionaries started teaching Danny again, they met Aimee and invited her to learn more. Aimee quickly embraced the restored gospel.
Denny, Danny, Melissa, and Aimee all progressed at their own paces. Since moving to Cleveland, Aimee was able to witness the wedding of Denny and Melissa. Later she witnessed the baptism of Denny and months later the baptism of Melissa. Sometime after that moment, Aimee decided that she too wanted to and was ready to make a covenant with her Heavenly Father. The only problem, she wasn’t yet married to her boyfriend Danny–a requirement of baptism for those who are living together. As a surprise to the missionaries, Aimee and Danny informed them that they were getting married on June 10th, and that 6 days later, on June 16th, Aimee would be getting baptized.
Aimee and Danny had a beautiful wedding late on June 10, 2024. She was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on June 16, 2024 by her family member Daniel Godoy. Aimee enjoyed being a member of the church and attending the temple. Since her baptism, her husband Danny has also been baptized.
