Sally of Wetaskiwin
Frank recognised this fine lady as a Baha’i from the moment we stepped off our bus onto a street in Wetaskiwin – even though this was our first meeting.
‘Ah, there comes a Baha’i lady,’ he said.
We sat with her and our other friend, Lyda of Ponoka, in a restaurant to listen to her story about how she came to the Faith. She described that she became a follower of Baha’u’llah in the late 70s, early 80s after searching for a religion which would satisfy her spiritual needs without question.
She sought out and read Baha’i books on her own and forged ahead as an independent, isolated learner. Some while later, she attended an Ayyam-i-Há and asked one of the attendees where she could sign up to become a Baha’i. The following day, Sally attended her first Feast.
Since then, she’s participated in many Baha’i events including serving as a cook at the Sylvan Lake Baha’i Summer School. She’s also orchestrated many devotionals in various locations.
Sally expressed her doubts about her capacity to teach the Faith. We let her know that her open heart, confidence and high communication skills will launch her into spreading her wings to share the Faith when the circumstances arise.
