We have been blessed to have family visit us from Northern Utah. Lisa and her Children arrived Tuesday night as Tori is moving to St. George to attend Dixie University. She is moving into an apartment with 5 other girls and this will be a good experience for her to become a bit more social. Marcia arrive Thursday evening with her children. It is so good to visit and see how our grandchildren have changed in just a short period of time. It is great to just play with them!
I had an another amazing experience last night at the Temple Visitor Center. It was around 8:30 p.m. when four people, Roman Catholic, came into the Annex. They were in there 20's and were from Italy. They wanted to know about the St. George area as to how it is important to the history of our Church. Of course that question opened up many other questions as I was able to share with them the Restoration, Temple importance, Families, Joseph Smith and Brigham Young's stories. They wanted to know how our religious beliefs were different than theirs. They were very interested as we talked about the BOM- (the second witness) and how Joseph Smith was led to it to translate in the 1800's. They all left with Books Of Mormon in Italian language. We exchanged email addresses and we will see if they will communicate with me about reading of the BOM. Words just came into my mouth as I was speaking with them!
