While there, she became a member of the Nurses Unit, the Young Adult Choir, and the Women's Department. One Saturday morning, during prayer service, she received the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

In September 1976, during a weekend youth service, she met Brother Willie Hunt, and after a whirlwind courtship, they married in May of 1977. The young bride and her groom were off to Ramstein AFB in Germany three days after the wedding.
