Dear friends and family,
We had the open house and free car wash at the church. The young missionaries had gone to so much work. All 6 of them had
spent 3 hours last night cleaning the church. We were having and open house where non members could come in and learn about
our church. We had different rooms set up to tell about our church. Elder Van Sickle was to do the employment section. I was
to do the section on temples. We had a lot of members come through that were non-menbers coming to see what our church was all
about. Elder Van Sickle and I enjoyed telling the non members about it.Each room was set up with something about our church. In the
chapel they had the video about the Restoration. In the Culteral hall the bishops of the two wards did there presentation. One did
The Book of Mormon and the other one talked about the restoration of the church. We had some people come through and ask
some very interesting questions. One asked if I woke up one morning and had fire in my heart and I felt like I should be a prophet
of your church. Why couldn't I be the prophet of your church? Elder Van Sickle said because God doesn't work tht way. He told them there was a process that the church goes through when there is a new prophet to be called. When I was showing the self employment and career workshop to a non-member. I read to him one of the things Gordon B. Hinkley said about employment. That God wants
you to be sucessful. He does. The man said if he wants you to be sucessful. Why is there so much poor and suffering in this world.
why does he let that happen. Elder Mooki said you have to have faith and be righteous. I told him some people inflict things on them-
selves. Some people infect things on other people. We have are free agency. We told him about the city of Enoch and what happens
when everyone is righteous. Then Mooki quoted one of my favorite scriptures to him Moses 7: 18 For the lord called his people Zion
because they were of one heart and one mind and they dwelt in righteousness and there were no poor among them.
Love, Brother and Sister Van Sickle
