After teaching Corey Wauneka and his mother for the past two months, we were so thrilled to see him enter the waters of baptism last Saturday. It has been such joy to teach both of these dear people. They knew the importance of prayer already, and believed in God, so they were ready to hear the message of the restored gospel. Cory also had carried a pocket New Testamen with him for the past 3 years, so he knew the scriptures were important. I can tell you from experience, those two things alone set him apart from most youth, not only here on the reservation, but probably most parts of the world.
Cory has attended church faithfully from the start and has learned a great deal. Alta has attended my sewing workshops and the Relief Society birthday party, but hasn't been to church yet. Her husband is only home on the weekends, so she felt she needed to do things with him. We are hopeful that with Brother Wauneka's job change, that it will allow her to attend church with Corey.
We really love this family! The are the salt of the earth.
