Leah Wildey Baptism

One week Elder Nelson and Elder Coombs received a referral from a member on the referral manager that they needed to stop by the Wildey family and see if they could start teaching their daughter Leah. The day we received the referral we were not able to go by because they lived over 40 minutes away. That whole week we put in our plans that we needed to stop by but for some reason it always turned out that we're never able to go by.

Finally on Friday it was the last day of the month and we had lots of miles left for the month so we decided that we are going to drive up there and see them. Right as we got there they let us in and we started talking to their family. Brother Wildey is a recent convert of two years. He started shareing his testimony with us about how the gospel has blessed his family so much. He even said that his daughter was not a member and that 10 minutes before we got there she was talking with them at dinner about how she wanted to be baptized.

That whole week Leah was at girl's camp and while she was at girl's camp she had a very spiritual experience and from that point on she knew she wanted to be baptized. It is amazing how God led us to their house at the exact time that we needed to be there. From then on we started teaching Leah every week. Leah came to church and was really getting integrated with all the young woman in the ward.

We had her baptism set for July 27th but there were some complications and it wasn't able to happen then. They went on a family vacation so we had to postpone it for a couple of weeks. We were hoping that we could have the baptism before Elder Nelson got transferred but it ended up that the baptism was a few days after on the 25th of August. There were lots of people who attended her baptism and the spirit was felt very strong there. She has since been able to move in with her parents full-time and is loving the Westminster Ward.
