Today we met with an investigator. His wife has passed away, he has lost two grand children and he loves to rodeo. He spends his Sundays returning home from his rodeo experiences. But he is getting older and starting to think about spiritual things. He had questions about where his wife might possibly be at this time. We got a committment from him to attend church on Sunday. Diane even got a committment from him to read the introduction in the Book of Mormon and several chapters in the Book of Mormon. He loved to talk. He always would get back to his rodeo experiences which made it hard to stay on task with an impromptu lesson that would meet his needs. The discussion lasted 45 minutes. We have an appointment to meet with him at the same time next week.
(Of course all of this was with a member of the church who volunteers each week to play role with the missionaries.)
We were addressed by Elder and Sister Tree. They completed their 4th mission three years ago. Their trials in Tahiti and New Zealand and with the Indians in the SW Indian Mission were wonderful to hear. They are the grandparents of our neighbor in Herriman, Holly Jones.
