Cove Fort Missionaries
The last few days have been good. Michelle, Shane, and kids came to spend the night before leaving for home in California. It was good to see them, especially the grandkids. We took them on a fort tour yesterday and had time for a good visit. They left early this morning.
Most tours of the fort have been uneventful, but one guy and his girlfriend from Texas were of particular interest. They were just young….. late twenties I would guess. He was covered with tattoos, and had the usual body piercings….the big black discs in the earlobes etc. I wondered to myself, why a couple like this would want to stop to see Cove Fort. As we got into the tour, they warmed up into some pretty nice folks. They knew very little about the church, so I began to teach them as we went along through the tour. They seemed very interested and at the end I offered them a Book of Mormon and a video. They accepted them as well as requested the Missionaries to come by and teach them more. I have learned, if nothing else not to judge people by the way they look.
In the last few days there have been several others that both Lynda and I have taken on tours that have filled out referrals cards requesting The Book of Mormon and videos, as well as the missionaries…..The gospel net is working well. Many of the other missionaries are having great experiences as well.
Today I was appointed to be a Shift leader/assistant to the Director. This will make me responsible for some extra duties and responsibilities for the remainder of our mission. It will be good for me to have to Streatch again.
We finally had a good rain storm here today. It will be nice to have some cooler weather for a little while.
