We are elated to be joined by our long-time friend, Paul :) Paul met the missionaries via Facebook but didn't have interest in the lessons they were teaching until they taught the Plan of Salvation. When he learned about the Plan of Salvation, he knew he wanted to be a member of the Church. But it was a long journey to baptism. After baptism, Paul felt the urge to serve. a. mission but wasn't sure that it was the best decision... until a MIRACLE happened!!
