Today thoughts about 9-11 are prevalent. We
have our flag at half-mast that flies over the Fort.
It has been a dreary day so the traffic at
the Fort was almost nonexistent. To pass our time, we watched a series of three
church videos. The first was about Moroni and the Book of Mormon, the second
about Parley P Pratt and the third about the Italian pastor who found a Book of
Mormon without the cover. He read it and knew it was true. He refused to burn
it as instructed. He was cast out of the priesthood of his church. He
eventually was able to be baptized.
About 11:30 a van full of people arrived. We
were greeted by a man ( he lives in Sun City in Phoenix) and his nephew who had
been to the Fort yesterday. He loved it so much he brought back another niece
and her husband (lives in Missouri) with their 6 children who are home schooled.
All eight of them live in a 42 foot 5th wheel. They travel a lot.
They love the feel in Utah and the value that is placed on families.
They loved the tour and soaked up the gospel
messages. They asked several gospel questions. They didn’t fill out a card but
they were eager to get the literature. One of the older girls sought me out on
the way back up toward the parking lot and asked me about Jesus and his
relationship to God and about baptism by emersion. I gave her a card with Mormon.org and my gmail so that she
could ask me questions if she chooses or go online for her answers.
