Brenna at the Tabernacle

This weekend KC Brenna and a Doctor friend of KCs named Jeremy from London England came to do hikes in Zion Canyon. On Sunday we were at the Tabernacle and they came over for a tour. Darolyne gave the tour and at the end of the tour she offered Brenna and Jeremy a Book of Mormon. Jeremy said he already had one but Brenna said I have known you guys all this time, about 2 or 4 years, and nobody has offered me a Book of Mormon and she wanted one. So that was a real sweet experience. If anyone reads the Book of Mormon with a sincere desire to learn and prays if it is true will receive a confirmation by the holy ghost that it is true. If it is true then Joseph Smith truly restored the gospel in the last days for the last time until the Savior comes again. The problem is that Satan will do all he can to keep people from reading that book. Brenna has been in our home has spent two Christmas with us and Joeys family, she is from Long Island, New York.

The Spirit and The Angels Truly Exist

I had an experience today at Jacob Hamlins home. It wasn't earth shaking it wasn't a spiritual wow, what it was was the spirit working quietly while the missionary,me, was just teaching the best I could. A group of 6 people came in the home. I taught them the greatness of Jacob for I truly believe this man was a very unusual person who filled a great void in the 1800's. He was quietly a gift from our Father to help the American Indians or Lamanites. As this particular tour ended I said are all of you members of our Church, because I assumed they were. Wo, one lady from Nebraska who just moved to St.George to teach at Dixie State University, said, "i'm not". I asked her if she would like some of our materials, she said she would because she would like to know more about our church. I gave her a Book of Mormon, the Testimony of Joseph Smith a pamphlet on Temples and other materials. Her friend that was with her seemed to be bewildered that she wanted to learn. See, her friend was a member but had not taught her much about our Church. The Spirit moved on that lady and those on the other side hastened the work. I was only the mouth for those who could not speak to her. Being a missionary is a tremendous work when you are trying to be in tune with the spirit.

Two Mountain Goats

We went up to Gunlock for our P day. A missionary said after a week of missionary work it is a good thing to be able to pee. We went with the Collins and then to the Ledges and ate at the Fishrock Grille. At Gunlock we went hunting driftwood. Fun day. This week Darolyne is the winner giving a Book to a couple from Washington DC and a Navajo Book to a Navajo lady. We went to the Temple this week and did sealings.

A Week in March

Very busy week. Meetings, meetings, meetings. Good week, gave a Book of Mormon to a man from LA, Darolyne gave out two yesterday to a couple from Minnesota and Las Vegas. When I say that I we  guve out a Book, it means we introduce them to our Church. Why are we called Mormons? and then tell them about our Church and about the Book of Mormon. Then we offer a free Book to them in their language and some say no and some want one and some are really interested and want to know more. The Book of Mormon is the most correct book on the face of the earth and if people read it for themselves and pray about it the Holy Ghost will manifest itself to them of the truthfulness of that book and the Restored Gospel. Yesterday we Went to the Temple with the McCoys to witness Heidi being married and sealed. Then went to an Organ recital by a lady from Calgary, Alberta, then gave tours at the Tabernacle, then went out to dinner with the Governor and his wife and the Andrus' who all were in town. Friday night we did the Fireside in the Tabernacle, which is our responsibility now. The speaker was Glen Rawson, he does History of the Saints, on TV. There was a full house of 850 people. Great inspiring program as he told stories all night. Then yesterday we put another bid in on another home here in St. George. We think we need a little bit bigger home so our  family doesn't forget us.

Weeks Memo

This week was daylight savings time switch so that has been hard since we had to get up early for my meeting Monday morning and then training meeting on Tuesday which was our p day. Last Friday Jim Spencer came down and gave a great talk at our Friday Fireside at the Tabernacle. John. his son came down to see him. The foreign traffic has not begun yet but coming soon. The temps have been above average. We put another offer on a house her today. It is kind of crazy to buy another house but we want to live down here at least half time and make this our first house then buy another smaller house up north. We'll see what happens. Missionary work goes on every day meeting and greeting and teaching every day. By the way Darolyne is so much better

than me on the details. She knows her dates and history better than I. I like to tell the stories. This is a picture of John and Jim Spencer at the famous podium at the Tabernacle.This is where Lorenzo Snow gave his famous Windows of Heaven speech. Also most of our Prophets have spoken. A lot of people say that I look a lot like John Spencer, what do you think?

Transfer Day

Selfie with Sister West Sister Childs with Sisters Soards and Allen Sister Childswith Sister Hee and Us with Sister Anthian. Yesterday was a good day i gave out 3 Book of Mormons one in Korean. Another to a lady from Portland that was very interested.

A Week Later

I haven't written for a week. Darolyne and I have been ill but we do go to  work. This last week we  have been training the Kahonas' from Hawaii. The Cannons have gone home. They trained us 10 months ago and have been stalwarts in our group. This last week there have been several highs when I gave a book of Mormon to a couple from Saskatchewan. Also gave a Book of Mormon to a lady from Alabama. She was very interested in American Indians. I shared with her my experience with the Ute Indians. Then I taught her about the Book of Mormon and how it was a history of the American Indians. She said she would like to read it. Darolyne gave two Books of Mormons to three from Texas. They were also going to Deseret Book to get a Doctrine and Covenants. When I tell of given Books to people what I mean is we teach them about the Church and invite them to read the Book of Mormon. We only give out books to people who are not LDS. There are many experiences we have with members of our church active or less active. People do not come to the sites unless there is a reason. I have been going to Monday morning meetings with the Director. Also our new duty of Friday night devotionals have kicked in and has caused stress for both of us because it is quite detailed and it has to go off each Friday night.
