Fort Visitors (Mike)

A couple of days ago, two guys from California stopped for a tour. They had traveled to Fillmore with a utility trailer, helping a friend and his wife move there. The people moving to Fillmore were members, but the two guys who came here weren’t. I took them on a tour, and one of them wanted a copy of the Book of Mormon brought to his house by the missionaries. They told me that the couple moving to Fillmore bought the old nursing home on Main Street.....That’s the old house I was born in. I guess they have fixed it up and these people are making a home of it. Next time I go to Fillmore, I’ll have to stop by and let them know I met their friends.




Yesterday, it was super cold and a young guy from California, about thirty years old, came to the Fort at about 9:30. Temps were still below zero with a wind, but he still wanted a tour. I took him to the fort and found out that he is going to be the new camp leader for Aspin Youth Camp in Loa, Utah, Just over the mountain to the east. He had many questions about the fort and the Church. As he left, he gave me a self referral and requested a copy of the Book of Mormon and some videos. If he meets up with other members of the Church in Loa, I think he will be taught by the Missionaries. He impressed me as a great young man.



We had a visit by Tanner ....I forgot his last name, from the Church Missionary Department yesterday. Sis. Cummings took him on the tour he requested, of the fort. The Missionary Dept. It trying to decide how many missionaries they can send to Cove Fort, Since the Senior Couple numbers are down, we won’t get as many as we need. I took him through the outer buildings. He was impressed with what we are doing, and I think will do all he can to get us the help we need. If not, we will have to recruit from the towns around for part time missionary help.
