Brandon was first contacted by the missionaries in the Walmart parking lot. As the missionaries starting talking to him, tears filled his eyes as they shared a brief part of the message of the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He was given a Restoration pamphlet to read.
A couple of days later, we called Brandon and asked if had gotten a chance to read the pamphlet we had left with him. He said yes, and that he felt the spirit had prompted him to do so. He said other church’s had given him different pieces of literature, bit he never had a desire to read them. However, He kept feeling like he needed to read the pamphlet we left with him.
We Invited him to read the Book of Mormon and he begun to fly through it. Every time we would talk, he would have read 5-10 chapters. He ended up finishing the Book of Mormon in around 2 weeks. The Book of Mormon helped him answer so many questions he had. One of his favorite chapters is 2 Nephi 2 where it talks about the meaning of life. Brandon has since read the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price.
Before the first interaction, Brandon was planning on attending church by himself for the first time in his life. He still ended up going to a different church for a few weeks, but quickly realized it wasn’t what he was looking for. So he began to come to church with us. He loved it. He repeatedly said “I’m not going anywhere.” He had found his home.
Brandon was baptized on March 2024.
Brandon’s story is a shining testimony that God will direct people who are seeking the truth. It is also a testament of the power of the Book of Mormon and the power of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
Elder Wakefield and Elder Kerksiek were visiting one of their friends in a mobile home park. Vincent’s dog ran outside. He went to get the dog and the elders were standing there…and that is how Vincent met the missionaries. The Elders talked to him and then sent the referral to Sister Lund and Sister Biasi.
Vincent Leake lives alone and he bought a little puppy named Grizzly to keep him company. He was house training his new dog and he let Grizzly outside to go to the bathroom. Vincent said “Grizzly started to jump on the boys (the missionaries) and I noticed they had suits on. I didn’t want them to get dirty so I went and grabbed him.”

Vincent met two Elders that were in the area for the zone blitz, Elder Wakefield and Elder Kerksiek. They asked him if he had ever heard of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints before. Vincent remembered hearing about our church but never had the opportunity to meet any members or missionaries. They asked if it would be okay if they came back sometime and Vincent said of course. That was November 3, 2023.
A few days later, he got a knock on the door and was surprised to see that it was Sister missionaries, instead of the Elders he had met previously. He was excited to get to know Sister Lund and Sister Biasi regardless, and to hear the message they had to share about Jesus Christ. They stopped by his house often, inviting him to church and teaching him doctrine on the spot. At first, he wasn’t sure about keeping commitments. He tried multiple times to come to church but couldn’t drive all the way due to his poor eyesight. The sisters weren’t able to have a lesson with him until after transfers.
Sisters, Vincent, and Sister Norton on the day Vincent decided to be baptized. Vincent, the Sisters, and Sister Norton at Vincent’s baptism.
Sister Biasi and Sister Spencer came over with Sister Vangie Norton on January 18 and had our first sit-down lesson. We contacted him often and he always loved seeing the missionaries, especially when they would bring members. Sister Norton came to every lesson, and connected instantly with Vincent. She had the inspiration to have us ask the McGee family to bring him to church. That made all the difference! Vincent began coming every week and absolutely loved it. The McGee family took him under their wing and were such great fellowshippers to him.
Along the way, we lost contact with Vincent a couple of times. He was dealing with various health and family issues. We prayed fervently that he would be able to continue progressing. The adversary was strong, but God’s power helped Vincent through every trial.
On March 1, Sister Spencer and Sister Adams got in contact with him over the phone after the sisters hadn’t seen him for two weeks. As it turned out, he was missing our calls, visits, and texts because he took a nap every time he felt like breaking the Word of Wisdom. He had successfully overcome his Word of Wisdom concerns and we set up a time to come over later that day.
Vincent and BradyA gift from the McGee’s to remind Vincent that the Savior’s arm is always outstretched to him.
We had a lesson with him and Vangie, and re-invited him to be baptized in one week. We all just couldn’t contain our joy. It was truly a miracle from God. Previously we’d had to reschedule the baptism, and then take him off-date when we lost contact. He was back at church that Sunday and the members were so excited to see him.
Elder Symes and Elder Poll did his baptismal interview, and Vincent told us afterwards he could’ve talked with them forever about how much he loves prophets, the Book of Mormon, and how much he learned from the elders. They became great friends to him as well.
On March 9, 2024, Vincent Leake followed the example of our Savior and was baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The McGee’s 18-year old son Brady baptized him, and is now preparing to go on his mission. It was a joyous day.
.
The Spirit was always so strong when we would talk about Jesus Christ and his divine plan for us. Vincent came to love the Asheville Ward, and in his own words he said, “The Gospel changed my life for the better. It gave me hope and let me know God hadn’t forgotten about me.” He said that he was just starting to feel left out and left behind, but through learning about the Restoration and the Prophet Joseph Smith, he gained the confidence to take his questions and uncertainties to God. Vincent said, “The Book of Mormon has shown me what the truth is. Heavenly Father has not forgotten me and will never forget me.” Vincent has the strongest testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ and His restored gospel, and he continues today to be a strong and faithful member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints.
He loves the Book of Mormon, and 2 Nephi 26:33 really helped him when he found misinformation online about church history. He looks up to Nephi and Joseph Smith, and loves connecting the Book of Mormon and the Bible. He is already a missionary and taught his neighbor about the Plan of Salvation when the neighbor inquired why we sisters always came to see Vincent. His testimony blesses our lives, and each of us are so grateful we met Vincent. None of this would have been possible without our loving Heavenly Father working in each of our lives and preparing Vincent’s heart to receive the glad tidings of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
.
Vincent was ordained to the Aaronic Priesthood on April 21, and Sister Adams and Sister Foster are going with him and the McGee’s to perform baptisms at the temple for his ancestors in a few weeks!
For none of these iniquities come of the Lord; for he doeth that which is good among the children of men; and he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men; and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile. – 2 Nephi 26:33
The missionaries were out contacting and knocked on Patti’s door. She opened the door, they introduced themselves, and she invited them in. The first thing she said to them as they entered was, “You’re welcome to come in, but my mother was a member of your church and if she couldn’t convert me you can’t either.”
After Elder Hirsche found her, missionaries kept visiting Patti, but they didn’t start making an impact until Elder Greenhalgh and Elder Stanfield started coming over. Their consistency really helped Patti. She felt like she was able to get to know them a lot more than the previous missionaries.
Elder Putt was also a large part of her conversion. He would consistently pose her questions and as she would answer them, he would inform her that we believed that as well. A particular faith building experience for her was when she explained that she didn’t believe in hell, and Elder Putt responded, “That’s good. Neither do we.”
Eventually Patti was put on date for baptism when Elder Lewis and Elder Berg served in the area. Patti faced some opposition before her baptism, but understanding that the commandments are essential and unwavering helped her power through. Patti was baptized on February 17, 2024.
Members of the Kingsport ward played an important part in Patti’s conversion, including Joe and Claire Ewing and Treasure Phillips. She is very grateful for their love and support.
Charlene Hutchison was married to a less active (but now very active) member of the church. Missionaries in New Mexico went to visit her and started teaching them. The Hutchison’s moved to Tennessee, and her progress skyrocketed.
When the Hutchison’s lived in New Mexico, the Sister missionaries there would often try to get in contact with her and her husband because he was a less active member of our church, Charlene was taught some of the lessons and really liked what was being shared, but she had a strong connection to another church she had been attending.
Once they moved to Tennessee, they decided that they needed to make a decision about where they were going. They prayed and asked the Lord if this church was the one that they should go to. After they prayed about it, Charlene described the feeling she got as “when your stomach comes up as you’re on a Rollercoaster and you just have that moment of joy.”
.
Soon after, the Hutchison’s attended their first ever sacrament meeting here in Tennessee and Charlene got up and shared her testimony. She said “I know I’m not a member yet, but I plan to be!”
This understandably left a big impression upon the congregation there. Many said it was one of the best testimonies they’ve ever heard.
Charlene had many questions. Most questions were due to her not fully understanding the doctrine and things we believe. Once she was taught everything, she felt more confident. Something that had a big impact on here were the wonderful Come Follow Me studies that her and her husband did together. She said that reading the Book of Mormon every single day with her husband was the highlight of her day, and that the Book of Mormon really uplifted her spiritually.
Charlene was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on February 4th 2024. She has since been extremely active and involved with the local unit. Charlene is truly an example of those who “are looking for the truth, but know not where to find it.”
Alex is a 18 year senior in high school from Signal Mountain, Tennessee. He grew up in a home that didn’t practice any religion. His mom and dad are both Atheist, he was raised Atheist. He always thought there was more but he didn’t know where to find it. He started dating his girlfriend Leah who is a member and grew up in the church.
Alex started going to activities and meeting more members in the ward. He started to build relationships with more and more people and was entering more members’ homes. Alex said there is a certain light about the members of the church and it is what drew him in. He said there was a distinct difference of the feeling in those members’ homes than there was in his own. He loved being in their houses because he could feel the Spirit there. He loved that the church was centered around family units.
.
He started going to early morning seminary, he attended all the youth activities, and he even started coming to Sacrament meeting. On Sunday February 25th, 2024, Sister Biasi and Sister Foster asked Alex if they could start teaching him. He said yes and they had their first lesson with him the next day. On Saturday March 2nd, Sister Biasi and Sister Avei had their second lesson with him and asked if he wanted to be baptized. He had no hesitation and said yes I’d love to.
That night he said he had one of the most spiritual experiences of his life. He just prayed for a straight hour expressing gratitude to his Heavenly Father. He felt impressed to reach out to all the people who helped him gain a testimony and thanked them.
Alex was baptized on Saturday March 23rd 2024. He was baptized by one of his friends in the ward. His friends sang and spoke at his baptism as well. There were 72 people at his baptism. When Alex entered the font he had tears streaming down his face. He requested to be held under the water for a moment longer. When he came out of the water he hugged his friend who baptized him and had his hand over his heart. Tears filled his eyes and he thanked everyone for being there for him. We got to be the two witnesses for his baptism. It was definitely the coolest experience for the both of us and for the ward in Signal Mountain.
.
Something so special about our experience with Alex is that we were able to share most of his big events with him. We had the opportunity to see him be baptized and confirmed, we got to see him receive the Aaronic Priesthood, we got to attend the temple with him, where Sister Biasi was baptized by him, and we got to see him bless the Sacrament.
Alex told us another amazing spiritual experience he has had was with his friend Maggie. She came to a lesson of his and was able to share his experiences after being baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She mentioned that she could see the change in him. She could see the light in each of us there and that is what drew her in. Alex said there was nothing quite like that experience being on the opposite end of things.
.
Since being baptized and receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost, Alex has said that the difference between having the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost and not having it is very heavy. He said that all of his prayers have been answered and it is something that he is eternally grateful for.
He loves being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and he wants everyone he knows to experience the blessings he has received from it. He is already a missionary and trying to help others receive those blessings as well.
Alex has mentioned to us his plans to serve a mission and eventually be married in the temple. We are so grateful for Alex and the example he is to us. He is a great addition to Jesus Christ’s church and he is going to bless the lives of so many individuals. We can’t wait to see him change so many people’s lives.
I am a volleyball player. I have been training and practicing to play college volleyball since I was in 7th grade. I was on the varsity team, the starting setter, and got player of the year award. My biggest dream after high school was to become a college volleyball player at a D1 level.
But focusing on playing volleyball dismissed the thought of me serving a mission. I always had the idea of serving a mission in my mind, but I didn’t really want to because I loved volleyball so much.
.
An event that changed my life happened during my junior year of highschool. My volleyball career was looking pretty good. I was in contact with good colleges and could see a bright future for myself.
In the spring of 2021, I was in club volleyball, high school basketball, preparing for track season, attending two schools, and work. I was very busy, I did not have a lot of time for the gospel of Jesus Christ including church, prayer, and reading the scriptures. My testimony began to fade.
On February 1st, during club volleyball practice as we were playing 6-on-6, I dove for a ball and hit the back of my head on the brick wall. I blacked out for a second and was helped by some players and my coach to sit me down for the rest of practice. Later when I saw a doctor, they said I had a concussion. I was devastated because I had to sit out of all my activities.
This was something that I really, really loved and I could not understand why God would take it away from me. But I didnt want to give up, so I kept pushing myself even though I was in pain and could not play the same. I asked God over and over again, “Why me?” Although I spent many days and nights feeling lost, I found myself relying more and more on God’s grace.
I had to come to the conclusion that volleyball was not going to lead me where I wanted to be. This is when I decided to serve the Lord. But… I can be stubborn and wanted to give myself one more shot. So I chose to play volleyball at Southern Virginia University before my mission at a D3 level.
.
We had a fantastic season. I was the starting setter as a freshman and led my team to win the region championship game. Even though we were successful, I was physically, mentally, and spiritually drained. I continued to pray to God for a miracle. I asked him countless times to heal me so I can be the best player I can be. Playing at a college level before my mission helped me realize that volleyball is not going to bring me forever happiness. But instead lead me down the wrong path.
Now that I am on my mission I can look back and see where my prayers were answered. I am not healed from my concussion. I still struggle everyday, which has really pushed me to rely on Jesus Christ’s strength and not just my own.
Elder Bednar once said “I knew that having faith—at least in my circumstance—was not necessarily knowing that he would heal me, but that He could heal me. I had to believe that He could, and then whether it happened was up to Him.”
Because of this experience, I can confidently say that God healed my testimony. I have a stronger relationship with Jesus Christ and a deeper love for the gospel. It’s not something I saw happening for myself because volleyball was my future, but God had a different plan for me and He definitely made it known by literally hitting me on the head.
I am so grateful that I learned this lesson before serving my mission, because as a missionary we rely on Jesus Christ for everything. I still struggle every day, I am not healed either, but now I know to what source I can look to for strength, comfort, and healing. A good summary of what I will always remember is from the words of Elder Bednar. “Strong faith in the Savior is submissively accepting of His will and timing in our lives—even if the outcome is not what we hoped for or wanted.”
I want to end with my simple testimony of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He lives! He is my brother and friend. His grace is sufficient for each of us! He is the ultimate healer!
Codie Branch referred himself to the missionaries over media in October of 2023. He saw an ad online and asked for missionaries to visit him. We tried multiple times to reach out to him and never got a response. On our last effort, he answered the phone and told us he was indeed interested in growing closer to Jesus Christ. He explained that he drives a truck commercially, so technology was the best way to stay in contact.
A couple of days later, we called him and taught him the Message of the Restoration of The Gospel of Jesus Christ. We shared the First Vision experience and invited him to pray about our message and whether or not it is true. Then, we planned a time to meet with him in person a couple of days later.
When we arrived for the appointment, Codie shared his experience with the invitation. He said he prayed and all he could tell was his gut was telling him to trust us and believe what we say! We were so excited to hear about this special experience. That lesson, we also introduced Damon Seal to Codie. Damon quickly clicked with Codie and became one of his main friends at church.
.
On November 17th, we invited Codie to be baptized on December 17th. He accepted and committed to living the commandments.
We continued to have zoom lessons with Codie through the months, with in person lessons during the random weekends he was at home. One such lesson he shared with us that he had never felt so connected to the Savior before. He finally felt like somebody understood him and his life experiences. He also shared with us that his family gave a lot of opposition to meeting with us and being baptized. Another lesson was a church tour with the Fredlines, a wonderful couple in the Lakeway Ward. We walked through the building and showed him the baptismal font. He was excited to join us for church.
As the months went on, we had to push Codie’s baptism back two different times. The first time we had to push it back was because Codie’s job had prevented him from being in town and attending church a second time. The second time we pushed it back was because of Christmas Eve. Both times were discouraging for him, but he continued to prepare for his baptism.
Codie was finally baptized on January 14th, 2024. He had a small baptismal program. The Fredlines provided the music. Jeremy Seal baptized and confirmed Codie. Jeremy’s wife, Mary Seal, spoke. So did another member named Damon Seal, who is not related to Jeremy and Mary. He was welcomed to the ward by the Elders Quorum President, President Mike Moffat.
Codie has continued to grow in his conversion and discipleship. He is currently working on reading through the Book of Mormon and keeping commandments. He has learned how the Atoning sacrifice of the Savior brings grace that gives him strength and power. He shared that since he has received the gift of the Holy Ghost, he has had more strength and peace in his life.
Jessica Hendley has a good friend, Mark Webb, who was recently baptized. After his baptism, he started sharing the gospel with her and asked the missionaries to come by her home to meet her. But when the missionaries would knock on her door, Jess wouldn’t answer.
A few weeks later, Jess got a new job working for the Bishop of the Cookeville 2nd Ward. Bishop Riches started sharing things about the restored gospel with Jess. She recognized many of the things he shared because they had been shared with her by Brother Webb. After a few conversations with Bishop Riches, she finally agreed to meet with missionaries.
.
When Jess began meeting with the missionaries, it was clear that her heart had been prepared by Heavenly Father to receive restored truths. Initially, she was really quiet and timid and didn’t want to go to church. But as the Spirit testified to her, her desire grew, and she agreed to attend sacrament meeting.
Once Jess attended church, everything just clicked for her. The ward members were so welcoming and kind, and she felt a connection with many of them.
.
Soon after attending church for the first time, Jess expressed that she wanted to be baptized. We even moved her baptism up a week from the original date because she was so excited to be baptized.
It was a beautiful day. Jess’ sister Jennifer came to support her at the baptism. After the baptism, she told us that she had seen such an amazing change in Jess, and that she wanted what Jess now had. We began teaching her and she is now on date to be baptized on April 20, 2024. It is amazing how Mark’s baptism led him to share the gospel with Jess, and her baptism led her to share the gospel with Jennifer. This again shows us the power that members have in sharing the gospel.
Excitement after Jess’ baptism
Jess loves all the things we teach her. She will send us verses and quotes from general conference. Her testimony continues to grow and she knows that she was being prepared. Because of her faith and decision to be baptized, she is now bringing others to the blessings of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the blessings from making covenants with Him.
One day we were out and about doing some finding. Elder Tubbs and I needed to use the restroom, so we stopped at the closest Weigles.
At Weigels, I got one of those nutty buddy wafer things and a chocolate milk. I then went up to the counter and a guy looked at my tag and asked me if I was from Utah, which honestly confused me at first. He then asked me some questions about missionaries. There was a long line behind me at the checkout so I answered quickly and hurried out of the way. We left and I didn’t think much about it.
The next morning we got a media referral from Luca. We texted him immediately asking if we could meet up. He said that we was at the mall and if we wanted to go there, he would meet with us right now. So we headed straight there. We sat in the food court of the mall in Morristown. Luca had a ton of questions he had about our church and some misinformation that we had to clear up. Then we taught him about the restoration and the Book of Mormon. He was really engaged the entire time.
Since that day, every time we met Luca had been reading in the Book of Mormon and asked wonderful questions. After teaching him for over a month, we invited him to be baptized.
I have seen Luca’s demeanor completely change over these last couple months. It has been so cool to see the restored Gospel bring so much joy to his life.
Luca was baptized on March 24, 2024. His baptism was amazing! I was given the opportunity of baptizing him and it was incredible. When we gave him the Gift of the Holy Ghost he said he felt power and warmth going from our hands through all of his body.
Elder Janzen, Luca Stiles, Elder Robinson
.
Luca has been an amazing missionary since the first day we met him. When we would teach him, he would go and teach his friends what he had learned from us. He’s already a great missionary and he’s going to do amazing things.
On April 3, 2024, we took a trip to Nashville to go to the temple. Luca absolutely loved it and said he’s never felt anything like it. He was given the priesthood the Sunday before so he was able to baptize Elder Janzen and I as we did baptisms for the dead in the temple.
Nothing will ever beat the feeling of seeing a random guy I met at a gas station a couple months earlier turn into a great friend and being able to be inside the House of the Lord together.

I was lost, and then I was found. This is my story.
Ever since I was little, I grew up baptist. I was constantly in and out of church and felt conflicted because I had my mom telling me we didn’t need to go to church and my grandma telling me the opposite. Eventually, from middle school through high school I just stopped going to church.
In 2022, I went to Ohio and was there for 4 months to meet a friend who I had met online. I ended up stranded on the side of the road with 3% battery on my phone. I had no idea where I was and didn’t really know anyone to call. I already wasn’t in the best headspace, was very depressed, and the circumstances that had led me to there that day left me feeling very down. I thought about taking my own life that day, but instead I took my phone and called 911. A police officer came and took me to the hospital.
At the hospital, I called someone I knew from a job I was working while I was there, and I lived with her for the next three months. While I was living with her, I was never sober. I was constantly trying to run away from the hurt, and I eventually ended up in the hospital for three days to address my mental health.
After I got out of the hospital, I was constantly praying asking God for help. I didn’t realize my prayers were being answered, but now that I can look back on it, I can see how God was helping me.
Shortly after that, I came back to Tennessee. Around the end of 2023, I started feeling a strong desire to go back to chruch, so my girlfriend and I went. As time went by, I started feeling really closer to God. I wanted to get baptized, but I had been going to many different churches, and no one wanted to baptize me for reasons I didn’t understand. I felt I had changed so much, but at the time I felt like I was being kicked out, so I lost faith.
Eventually, at the beginning of 2024, my girlfriend broke up with me and my two best friends stopped being my friends. I felt like my world was crashing down on me, and I felt myself returning back to a dark place. I paced back and forth in my room crying and just praying to God to help me. As I was praying, right in that moment, my mom came to check on me, which never happens. That’s when I decided to change my life around and give up all the things that were hurting me.
A month later, my friends came back into my life, and I was very happy about it, but I still felt so lost. One day I was working and this guy came in. I looked at his name tag, and I said to him, “Are you from Utah?”. He said, “Yes.” I told him I recognized his church because my favorite YouTubers, Brock and Boston, went to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Now, at the time, I didn’t know anything at all about the LDS church, but I went home and started looking up stuff about it. Most of the stuff I found was lies.. Bu two days later, I was outside sweeping the parking lot at work and found two cards with pictures of Jesus on them. Something told me to pick them up and put them in my pocket, so I did.
I went home that night and pulled out those cards. I looked at the back of the card and it had a website: ComeUntoChrist.org/Jesus. I went to the site and filled out a form to request a Book of Mormon.
.
The next day I was at the mall when I got a call from the missionaries. I asked if they would come to the mall and meet me right then. When the missionaries walked up, there he was—the same guy I had met at my work—Elder Robinson. We had a very good and long conversation, and I actually felt understood and listened to.
At first, I was a little iffy about this church just because of everything I read online and my friends had been telling me things about the church that didn’t sound great. But I kept an open mind, didn’t listen to them, and moved forward with the missionaries.
As I started reading the Book of Mormon more, everything just changed. I didn’t feel depressed or lost, and I didn’t feel the temptations like I did before. That’s when I first realized it was true. My faith grew so much that now I just can’t stop talking about the gospel with people and helping others find the truth that I’ve always been looking for and had now found. The more I kept reading the Book of Mormon and the Bible together, the more everything started to click together and make sense.
I eventually became very close with Elder Robinson, and he did my baptism. We went to the temple together, which was amazing. Since my baptism, I’ve made many friends and have met many kind people. I can definitely say that I finally, after all these years, have found freedom and peace and can finally breathe.
So just remember: don’t be scared to take that next step, because I can definitely promise you it will change your life for the better.
Arieana is a friend of Bishop Reano’s family, more specifically his daughter Katie Reano’s friend.
Katie invited Arieana to a Wednesday youth night and Arieana loved the people! They were kind and welcoming and she felt comfortable enough to attend church, family home evening, and Young Women’s.
Arieana was attending a different church but didn’t feel like she was learning or focusing on Christ enough in those meetings. She was first taught by the missionaries in early February of 2024. While learning about the gospel, she was very focused and eliminated distractions to learn as much as she could. She loved the lessons, the gospel, and her support from friends and family.
.
Arieana was baptized on March 2, 2024 and had a great experience. Her greatest experience came the day after her confirmation. She explained that, “I woke up the next morning and told my Nana that I felt different, more calm!”
She already has such a strong testimony of her Savior and is working with the missionaries to teach and baptize her Nana Gail. She is living proof that the Holy Ghost is a Comforter and that it is really powerful as members of the church reach out to Love, Share, and Invite.
