Baptism Miracle

Allison, my beautiful daughter, was baptized yesterday and confirmed a member of Christ's church today.

A month ago she hated everything about Mormons--with the possible exception of the cute Elders in our Stake. Fortunately the Elders have never given up on our son, Eli, and they continue to pester him.

Allison loves to cook Ukrainian food and decided to cook dinner for these elders--including a new Russian speaking Elder.  Of course they jumped at the chance to have good dinner with a beautiful 17 year old girl.  During the discussion that followed something magical happened.  Allison felt the spirit for the first time and recognized she felt something new.

She went for a walk with a good LDS friend and told her what had happened.  They arranged to have the missionaries teach her secretly at this friend's house.  An amazing conversion began to take place during the past 3 weeks.

I'm so proud of Allison for listening to her heart and having the courage to follow the spirit to do something that sounded completely crazy to her a month ago.  Way to go Allison!  You've taken another huge step in your journey to a new and better life.

Although she didn't wear high heels into the font, she wasn't about to wear a the standard jumpsuit!
