28 Years and Counting

It was my sister Roseanne who first introduced me to the gospel. It meant everything to me that she and Dad attended my baptism.

My baptism day - October 4, 1980

Today, October 4, I CELEBRATE 28 years of being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! I was baptized in Cheyenne, Wyoming by Richard Brown. My baptism was the beginning of a new life for me. I will never forget the emotion inside my soul, to be clean, to start fresh as a child of God - it was such a great feeling! I have had many good examples in my life, my parents and grandparents and I thank them for taking me to church and giving a wonderful foundation to build on. The missionaries called me a "Golden Contact" and it didn't take long to make the decision to be baptized. I know personally of the Savior's redeeming love. I am grateful to be part of an eternal family.

I will always have a special bond with Richard and Judy Brown. When I was investigating the church they invited to their home many times and lovingly taught me the gospel. It was because of them that I wanted to know more! It was an easy decision to have Richard baptize me! I still talk to them often and always visit them when I go to Cheyenne.
