One Month Completed ~ Eleven to Go

March 9, 2015 marked one month finished on our mission.  We are doing pretty well remembering what to say at our historical places.  It's really important to have the spirit, so you know what to say to certain individuals.  Our hope is to help everyone have a good experience that will promote faith and gratitude if they are members of the church.  If they aren't, we hope to introduce them to the gospel of Jesus Christ and plant a desire to know more.  There are many wonderful people we would love to see join the church.

Elder and Sister Cleverly are our St. George Temple Visitors' Center Directors.  They are from Woods Cross and have only been here two and a half months.  Their call is for 2 years.  We didn't know them before our mission.  They are doing a good job even though it's been exhausting taking over the position.

The moon was full this week, and when I got up one morning, there it was as seen from our backyard!

Scott is busy putting up the flag at the Jacob Hamblin Home.  When you are the first or last missionaries at the different locations, there are certain things you have to do like put up the flag,  hang or place the open sign in front, turn on the lights, unlock the doors, etc.  We had to give the opening and closing prayers in the tabernacle at the Richard and Linda Eyre fireside because we worked the last shift there.

On Monday we had our preparation day so Scott went golfing with the ward mission leader from our ward.  They went to Bloomington Hills and had a good time.  Since Zions National Park is starting its shuttle system on March 15, I decided to drive there while I still could when Dad golfed. I walked to the Narrows entrance.  It was pretty boring without cute kids along with me throwing footballs to each other.

The St. George Temple Visitors' Center is gearing up for the new mormon.org video.  This one is called "Because He Lives".  It is going to be shown at our center at the end of March.  We are also going to put on a musical program as part of the event on Easter Sunday night.  I have been working a little on the Facebook publicity.  With Sherry's help, I was able to get text on my photo so that we can submit this advertising to the church for posting on our St. George Temple Visitors' Center Facebook page.  It might not get posted, but I think it turned out good.

While working at the visitors' center, I have been at the front desk answering phones, etc. while Scott works at the other end in the annex.  He gets to show people how the temple was built and answer  their questions.  He is good at helping visitors.  Someone thought he looked like a general authority.
