Serving in the Red Rocks

Labor Day Weekend-- WOW!

So, we were working in the Temple Visitor Center on Sunday afternoon/evening.  It was crazy busy!  I began to feel sorry for myself, thinking that all I was, was a glorified record keeper as so many guests were coming into the VC Annex.  All of them were members, you can quickly tell!
About 45 minutes before closing God showed his tender mercy to me.  Yes, a couple from Toronto came in the Annex.  For some reason there was no other guests at that time and I finally had a chance to visit with them.  They said they were "kind of " Catholic.  Then he said, "but we are really fans of your Church and Religion.  WOW... I knew where to go quickly with that.  We had a great discussion about: Joseph Smith's First Vision- They had been to the Palmyra Pageant!  They knew of Moroni but not much.  Then we discussed the Restoration and the Book of Mormon. They sounded like they had been studying about our religion".  This went on until close to closing time and then I suggested that they view the video on "God's Plan for His Family."  They agreed and I sent them there with a Sister Missionary from Canada.  I saw them coming out of the Video and he had tears coming down his face.  He said to me; "You didn't tell me this would make me cry"  He was touched as was his wife.  We talked longer about the BOM and reading it.  They read Moroni 10:3-5 for me and committed to reading and having Missionaries come see them in Canada.  I got all of their INFO.....
It was amazing.......
