We met Mikayla on Sunday, November 17th when she came with her fiancé and kids to church. We were introduced to Mikayla through one of our amazing members Brother Bishop. Sister Erickson and Sister Petersen got to know the this family better. It turned out her fiancé was already a member and was starting to come back to church. Mikayla grew up baptist and had been baptized twice before, but felt different every time she came to church.
We started teaching Mikayla and she immediately fell in love with the Book of Mormon and going to church. Mikayla expressed to Sister Diede and Sister Petersen that she had many questions for God that she wanted answered before committing to anything. She had to make some hard but necessary changes in her life to prepare for her baptism. She made efforts to keep the commandments, and she expressed to us not only did she feel physically stronger but was so much happier.
Mikayla expressed a few more questions that she felt she needed answers about getting married. Sister Diede and Sister Petersen shared their testimonies of the Book of Mormon and how it has deeply impacted their lives and how we can find answers in it.
Over the next few days Mikayla prayers were answered and her and her fiancé got married!
Then Mikayla was baptized on February 16, 2025. She said it’s been such a refreshing and rejuvenating new start in her life!
She cannot wait to get sealed in the temple to her husband and family next year!
