Yesterday, I took a nine year old girl and her grandparents on a tour. As we began I told them to be thinking of a nonmember friend or relative that we might send a copy of the Book of Mormon or a video to. The little girl asked," could we even send one to my mother…she’s in prison." I said that we could and that missionaries are allowed to teach people in prison. She was really smart and asked so many good questions on the tour. As we progressed on the tour I was able to teach her object lessons on how people can change their lives and repent…..(The fort tour has several items or artifacts that lend themselves to good object lessons on the atonement) It was a memorable tour…maybe I do miss teaching kids her age.
We were able to send her request to her mother by way of the mission home in the area, complete with the message of love from the little girl to her mother.

Yesterday, I took a man in a wheel chair on a tour, who was accompanied by his son in law and two grandsons. He had been recently released as a Stake President in Mississippi. I found that they were returning from the Mountain Meadows Massacre site where his ancestors had been killed and they wanted to stop at Cove Fort for a more positive experience. We talked a little about what happened at Mountain Meadows and they left me a referral. It did turn out to be a good positive experience for them.
