Our Cove Fort Missionaries

 

Late Tour - Mike

Last night as I was closing the fort, an SUV came into the parking lot, even though the closed signs were up. They asked if they could just take a quick look inside. The family consisted of the parents and two teenage daughters. I told them that I would be happy to take them on a full tour, but the fort was getting dark and we would need a flash light. I found that they were non members from southern California. As I took them through the fort, I had a chance to teach them about the Book of Mormon and the values held by the Hinckley Family. At the end of the tour I offered them a copy of the Book of Mormon and a video. As they were contemplating an answer to my offer, I said “I would really like you to have a copy of the Book of Mormon.” The youngest of the daughters, who hadn’t said a word the whole time spoke up and said,” I would like to have one.” I told them that our young missionaries would bring it by. I hope this neat family will feel the spirit and let the missionaries teach them.
As this experience happened, I had a flash back to two evenings before, when I had two families on a tour, but the parents of both families had declined the offer of a Book of Mormon. The young teenage son who hadn’t said a word before, spoke up and said,” I would like to have one. They’re free aren’t they?” The mother filled out a card for him, and the missionaries will be calling on them soon.
There are some quality youth out there that are searching, and are not cluttered down with false notions. They are close to the spirit and teachable…….kind of like a young boy years ago who went to a grove and prayed.

Ute Stampede

Last night, we went to the Ute Stampede Rodeo in Nephi.
