One year ago Sister Hart was given a referral for Raymond. Raymond had hit rock bottom. He was 40 years old and was on drugs and knew that if he didn't change, he was going to die. He prayed for help and saw an advertisement from our church with a scripture and a free Book of Mormon offer. He ordered the Book of Mormon and began reading.
When Sister Hart and her companion arrived at his door two weeks later, he was already in the Book of Alma. They began to teach him the gospel. Sister Hart said that they never mentioned baptism during that first lesson, but when they had finished and asked him if he had any questions, he wanted to know how he could be baptized.
He has worked hard to overcome his addiction and this week, the anniversary of his baptism, he received his endowment in the Atlanta temple. He is currently serving as the Elder's quorum secretary in his ward.
