Faydra first met the missionaries in the Walmart parking lot. As she was walking into Walmart, the elders invited her to come worship Jesus Christ with us. They taught her about the sacrament and how it would bless her in her life. She was immediately interested and very excited to join them at sacrament meeting and learn more about the church.
As the missionaries talked to her more, they taught her that the Gift of the Holy Ghost is the greatest blessing Heavenly Father could give to her and invited her to be baptized. The spirit was very strong at that lesson. Faydra knew she needed this help and said yes.
Shortly after agreeing to be baptized, Faydra had an illness that put her in the hospital and lost contact with the missionaries. As soon as she got out of the hospital, she called the missionaries and expressed that she was more excited than ever to be baptized!
As she continued talking to the missionaries and reading the Book of Mormon, she said “That book is so good, I can hardly stay out of it!” Faydra has felt the power of the Book of Mormon and experienced how it helps her to feel closer to Jesus Christ.

On the day of her baptism, the water heater to the font baptismal font broke. Faydra said nothing was going to stop her from being baptized that day. She was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on March 29, 2026 as a member of the Jamestown Ward.
Faydra knows lots of people who she wants to introduce to the gospel. She asked for five copies of the Book of Mormon from the missionaries to give to those she knew. Faydra is now a strong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and loves sharing her faith!
