Olya's Batism

This was a special day where a young married couple experienced great joy in their lives. Vitally baptized his wife Olya. Vitally has been a member for a few years now but hasn't come as often to church as he did at first, however, he continued to attend English class. He noticed a young woman attending for some time and observed her and was drawn to her. After several months he showed up at her house with some flowers, introduced himself and proposed! Olya had been selected(months prior) to be the Kinghorns interrupter. The Kinghorns are the Humanitarian couple in the mission. She was being exposed to the church bit by bit. She was drawn to the church and enjoyed the company of many CES youth as well as the missionaries(couples, sisters & elders). Vitally had started attending Church more regularly and was especially interested in preparing to go to the Temple. He wanted an Eternal Marriage and Olya was the one he wanted to spend Eternity with. She was very surprised to see him and didn't really know him. Her answer was "maybe we should date first." Well they did date and they were married and Olya was indeed ready for Baptism. She was spiritually ready and it showed in her countenance. It was indeed a glorious day! Every day a new soul comes unto Christ through the waters of Baptism is a glorious day! I will never forget this day. I will never forget the love that was shown between a husband and wife on this day. Just after Olya came up from the baptismal waters - she kissed Vitally as if to say "Thank you! I love you!"
