MTC Day Four

We had a great presentation on the book of Mormon this morning by Val Judd, who was our branch president in Rochester '74-'75. We saw his office yesterday and had a little reunion catchup time. He shared quotes from the Prophet Joseph Smith, Heber C Kimball and others that shed light on the fact that ZJoseph saw many angles that taught him and showed him all about the Nephite nation. He also shared the quote about the room in the Hill Cumorah with several wagon-loads of plates. He quoted Elder Holland saying the Book of Mormon is a revelation about revelation and the most basic missionary tract of this dispensation. Mnay other interesting points were made about the Book of Mormon that you don't usually think about.

We prepared and taught the second lesson today. Well I should say we taught our second lesson. Our investigator was quite strong willed and wouldn't respond to our questions, but only asked questions. We had to get very bold and direct and she responded somewhat after that, but we still didn't get to the Plan of Salvation the way we prepared. It was a good experience and we learned from it. Reactivation work is on the docket for tomorrow. We got an email from our mission president last night, and among other things he again indicated we would be doing member work, presenting Family Home Evening training with members, active and less active.

A beautiful view!

Timp has more snow on it at this time in the season than ever before. Today there were 80 degree temps and the same is forecast for the next two days. We may begin to see some flooding. Hopefully it will cool down and we will avoid the super heavy runoff and associated flooding.
