Today was an excellent day. The Molifua family from our Ammon Ward stopped by for a visit and fort tour. They seemed to really enjoy their tour. Zundle became very efficient with the Cooper Hoops, and the horse hobbles (the people at the Fort could undo them but the the people who were trying to steal their horses couldn't). We were actually scheduled for the late shift, but since we took them on the morning tour, we just stayed on to help out with the other shifts. We had over five hundred visitors at the fort inclucing a group of young people from St. George area that provided lunch for the missionaries and took a tour. While on the tour they sang in the fort. "Be Strong" It was really nice to hear them.
Earlier, Mike caught a man on the road in the front of the fort who was parking a motor cycle in the wrong area. He ended up taking him on a tour; at the end, he wanted a copy of the Book of Mormon, and gave him a referral card for the missionaries to come. The very next tour was a man and wife from Nevada who were very interested in the fort. At the end of the tour, they also wanted a Book of Mormon and a referral for the missionaries. The lady told mike that she felt a very peaceful feeling at the fort and wondered what it was she was feeling. All of the tours were really good and every one of them seemed to have that same good feeling; most of them, even the men had tears in their eyes as they left, including us. It was another great day in the fort.
On my tours today,each family remarked about the Spirit of the Fort. It was very strong today. I even was asked to have my picture taken with the Layton family from Layton, Utah. Such a great family. Our last tour was very special. The gentleman remarked about the feeling of the Fort and left with tears in his eyes. He said he couldn't wait to bring his wife back with him next time.
I love getting up each day and going to the Fort. I can't wait to see who we get to meet each day and be able to share the Gospel with them. Most people remark that they don't know why they stopped. It seems like that they just seem to be pulled off the road to come to Cove Fort. We know, it's because we pray them there. There is such a calm and peaceful feeling here.
A couple of days ago there was a man from Denmark, he wanted to just stay and stay. His tour guide wanted to get back to do another tour and he said please don't leave me I want to stay here and keep this feeling I have here. He stayed at the Fort for almost and hour after his tour was over, then he said I think I can leave now. But I really don't want to. He gave the Missionary a White card so the Missionaries could contact him when he returned home.Everyday is a GREAT day to be at the Fort!!
