How Great Thou Art

On Saturday, January 19, Shawntele was baptized!  She was soooo happy.  After her baptism, as we waited for her to change, we listened to a few testimonies of those who were there.  Suddenly, we hear this muffled, angelic music, as Shawntele was singing "How Great Thou Art" in the dressing room.  People looked at each other and smiled.  It was the sweetest thing!  She was floating on air and just radiant. We are so happy for her. 

Today, she received the gift of the Holy Ghost.  She has been so excited for this.  Congratulations, Shawntele!  We love you!

(Hoping to acquire a picture from one of the missionaries, as I forgot to take my camera. Dang!)

Finally got picture!  Yay!  It was so cool, because Elder Wismer first taught Shawntelle; then it turned out he was back in the area when she was ready to be baptised and was able to perform the baptism.  Both Elder Wismer and Shawntelle were so excited :)
