She has been attending church for 13 years with her husband, but was not a member. She professes to be shy, and was concerned that if she was an official ward member, that she'd be called on to say prayers, or teach, or some other scary thing. However, in the last couple of weeks she has really blossomed with confidence after accepting the elder's invitation to be baptized.
Pictured are: Elder Johnson, Sister Johnson, Patriarch (emeritus) Joe Johnson, BJ, her husband Wayne, and elders Urry and Hatch.
Wayne has been a member for many years, but he had been hospitalized just over a month ago, and needed a little assistance in the font, so he asked their good friend Papa Joe to assist.
It was a lovely evening, and two 8-year old girls from the Columbus ward were baptized also.
We really love these fine folks, and have been able to teach them with the elders over the last month.
