MISSIONARY THOUGHTS!!

I haven't blogged for quite some time now and thought that because I am a little under the weather (cold) I would sit here and narrate a little blog to myself and of course to you. Who you are is a curiosity to me. Let me know who reads my blog...if anyone anymore. We have become a little more busy now that we are in the middle of summer and the pageants are on (Nauvoo and Palmyra), so we get people going on Church History Site vacation tours and we are the first one on their lists if they are from the east. Folks out west usually see us last and some say they wish they had done the trip in the other direction because this is where it started in this dispensation. Today, though I wasn't feeling very well, I had to conduct a tour. It was a non-member couple and the wife asked many questions and stated that she would like to be baptized but doesn't want to join the church. She could not hear that the Lord wants her and all of His children to be baptized and do all the other things He has asked them to do. She left thinking she was going to be saved in Heaven and didn't need to do it the correct way. I didn't argue with her but encouraged her to read the Book of Mormon...especially Moroni 10:4&5. She said she would and we left it at that. It was frustrating to speak to someone who does not have the 'ears to hear' nor the 'eyes to see', but I did what the Lord has asked me to do and either she will someday 'see and hear' or she will get a rude awakening on the other side of the veil. I am including in this blog a few pictures just because I like them and hope you do too.
