Bonnie: What a relaxing day for us both! We picked up the Youngberg's at the Mission Home about 10:00 and took them back to the office to help them with their phones. It was great talking to them. They went on a mission to Amon, Jordan before this one. It was so interesting to hear him tell about some of their experiences. They have a real love for the Muslim people. He said that they believe that Abraham was told not to sacrifice Isaac, but was told to sacrifice Ishmael. Of course, the Muslims come from the lineage of Ishmael. He said that there are many similarities between the Muslim beliefs and Mormon beliefs! He was very interested in having an Arabic Book of Mormon and a Persian or Farsi Book of Mormon. He even asked President Clayton about working with the Persian people. The President is thinking about it.
We did some errands and then went over to Budgett's house to watch an episode of "The Murdoch Mysteries". We quite enjoyed it. We also talked about some of our YSAs and the problems they are having.
We will be taking two investigators to church tomorrow--Spencer and Grace! Spencer is the young man who lives across the hall from us. The APs told us this morning at the office that he lost his phone, so we knocked on the door and worked out the ride. We've written about Grace, of course. We will meet her at church. I hope it goes well, because I have to "shepherd" kids in to see the Bishop during Sunday School, when Bob will take the two of them into the Gospel Principles class. Then, I will go with Grace to Relief Society and Spencer will go to Priesthood with Bob. It will be an interesting day that's, for sure! I hope they feel the spirit and want to know more. And, I hope the food is good. May all of us have a spiritual feast tomorrow, where we feel the Spirit and allow it to direct what we do.
Love, Mom/Bonnie
PS: Bob went to sleep on the couch, and is too tired to write! He sends his love to all of you.
