Today was another great day at Cove Fort. There were not very many vistors only 78, but some awesome experiences. I sat on the chair for two hours. This means that I watch for cars and assign missionaries to go meet the car and take them on tours of the Fort. I got assigned the last tour of the night. It was three gentlemen from Bakersfield California. They have been working on the geothermal drilling going on just south of the Fort. They were leaving to go back to Bakersfield tomorrow and wanted a tour before they left. It was an awesome tour. None of the men were members of the Church. One had never even heard anything about the Mormon Church or Joseph Smith. As we worked our way around the Fort we talked about families, mine and theirs. One was married and had children and a grandchild on the way. Another was single and going to college there in Bakersfield. The third man was married and had a little boy his wife is expecting twins. I bore my testimony in the "Best Room" about families and I told them that I was so grateful that I have my family forever. That I am married for eternity and not just for time. I love my family and am so glad that I know that I will be with my children and grandchildren forever. I also told them about the Book of Mormon. Well when we finished the tour I offered them all a copy of the Book of Mormon and a video. Two of them declined. But the man with the one boy and twins said "Yes" I would like to know more. So he filled out a white card and now the Missionaries will be able to share the Gospel with him and he can have the same happiness that the Gospel brings to my life.
The director challenged the Missionaries yesterday to work on their buff cards and white card referrals. They did and hit a new record. They got 30 referrals in one day. The record last year was 21. Cove Fort Missionaries rock!!!
