GOOD FOLKS

September 19, 2010 Sunday

We have a member, Danielle Horton, who is inactive. Her brother who is very active and lives in Melbourne with his wife was coming for a visit this weekend. Because his mum had been here for a month and knew what a tiny branch we have, he called last week, said they were coming and offered themselves to be the speakers today! Amazing. They have 6 boys, ages 2-9, whom they left with her mom for 5 days. They gave great talks. Karlie talked about the scripture in Proverbs 3, “Trust in the Lord with all thy heart….” Then Dusty spoke about how to find happiness. He took the one chapter in 4th Nephi, pointed out the part that said there “never was a happier people,” and then showed how they lived that made them happy. They were both great talks. What nice people!
This afternoon we taught Conrad. He’s from South Africa. He and his family moved here several years ago. They attend the Broome Victory Life church, but he’s not totally impressed with it. In fact, he’s not at all impressed with the lack of standards and religion of the people here in general. He listened very attentively to all we had to say, but wouldn’t agree to a baptismal commitment. Then he wouldn’t pray at the end, and he wouldn’t set another time for us to come back. He asked for our phone # saying that he has kind of an erratic job where he travels and never knows when he’ll be in town. He really is a sharp guy, but we aren’t holding our much hope for him. He has a wife and two daughters, 10 & 12.
