Oh, what Joy!

Joy was soooooo nervous, she called Sister King and me about every hour, sometimes even twice an hour for about 34 hours before her baptism!! I felt really bad for her, but I understood. She lives alone, and she was sitting in her quiet house alone and satan was really working on her. She didn't have anyone for any kind of comfort or moral support. So I didn't mind her calling us so much. She needed us during that time. She really did. So sister King and I bought her some flowers from Kroger, cleaned out an old spaghetti sauce jar, and,then I found a white tule ribbon on some Christmas decorations in the closet and tied it around and made it so pretty. It was to remind her of the first time she got baptized when she was 12 into the Baptist,church. She told us that she had a big lace bow in her hair. So I thought it worked perfectly!! Also, we bought a white flower for her jumpsuit to "pretty it up" because she wanted to wear a dress for her baptism and she didn't like the jumpsuit she thought it was ugly so we bought the flower to put on it to make it prettier :P

Joy got baptized!!!!!! It has been such a long time coming!! This has

been the epitome of my mission so far. The crowning event. The most

glorious moment. It was unexplainable and undeniable! Absolutely the

greatest thing that's ever happened to me!!!
