Tuesday June 5, 2012 Vernal Temple Day with Johnson's

We had a wonderful time at the Vernal Temple with Quimby and Doris Johnson, they had not been to the temple in at least 5 years.  We are so happy for them. Has you can see it was a very windy day! We had a wonderful drive through the mountians to get to Vernal.

Monday May 25, 2012 P-Day!! Fishing was great!!

Week of May 28th to June 2nd 2012

We are so excited we will be teaching a wonderful family of 4 on Tuesday June 12th the missonary lessons. This family was a referral from the Bishop, and we have been doing service and getting to know them for a couple of months. The mother has been reading the Book of Mormon and had lots of questions when we visited with her last Tuesday. Please keep us in your prayers that we will be able to be effective teachers. We will also be teaching a member that was less-active but has been coming most Sundays on the same day.
Another exciting event will be this coming Tuesday June 5th, we are taking a couple to the temple in Vernal that have not been for several years, they had been less-active but had started coming back before we got here. We have been doing some service for them and have gotten to know and love them.
What a great oppurtunity this mission has been.
Gary is very excited that we got to go fishing last P-day with a less active family that have been coming to church.  He got 5 nice trout. I will post picture next week.
I am excited we are going to take a few days off with permission of course to go to my brothers wedding in Utah this coming week, we are leaving Thursday afternoon and coming back the following Monday. It will be fun to spend sometime with my family and our kids!!

Zone conference Friday May 25th

We had a wonderful conference Friday may 25th, we were well taught by President Maynes. He taught us about desire and how important it is to have desire to be able to teach and help less active back to church. He also taught us how to find new people to teach by using members more effectively.
Gary and I had the assignment to invite 17 people from the Delta and Uncompahgr wards to help with a role play with the missionaries. We were amazed at how willing the members were to help out, there were only a few no's and they D & C 20:37 I will put it in today's news.


37 And again, by way of commandment to the church concerning the manner of baptism—All those who ^ahumble themselves before God, and desire to be baptized, and come forth with broken hearts and ^bcontrite spirits, and witness before the church that they have truly repented of all their sins, and are willing to take upon them the ^cname of Jesus Christ, having a ^ddetermination to serve him to the end, and truly manifest by their ^eworks that they have received of the ^fSpirit of Christ unto the ^gremission of their sins, shall be received by baptism into his church.

We are still loving the work and appreciate the prayers and letters we have received!!
