MISSION HOME FIRESIDE- JESSICA

This fireside was so spiritual. Our guest speaker, Jessica Wildermuth, was outstanding. She told an incredible story of her journey to joining the church. She understood the gospel so well and you could feel her testimony and such a spirit when she spoke.
She graduated from College, got a job here, and moved here by herself. She found it difficult to get to know people in a new city. She rode the bus each day and an LDS girl, Breanna, would say hello everyday and visit with her. She told her about the church and invited her to come. She politely declined. They continued to be friends on the bus.
Jessica became very ill and had to be hospitalized. She went through a tough time. Breanna came to the hospital to see her and Jessica realized what an true Christian she was. When she got better she accepted the invitation to come to church. She enjoyed it and let the missionaries start to teach her.
But reading the Book of Mormon was the thing that coverted her. She loved it.
