Moores On A Mission: Sunday, November 1, 2015

This past week Irene and I helped Sister Christiansen with the Sisters' Conference held in Walkersville, MD. Irene helped with the conference and I was in charge of the luncheon. They also provided breakfast for the sisters; french toast and a yummy sauce to pour over it (oh my goodness, that stuff was so good I could have drank it!), fruit, bacon, juice, and chocolate milk. Delightful!

I recruited Elders Baker from Fort Meade and Jaccard from Hagerstown to help me with the lunch. Sister Christiansen planned the meal, purchased the food and transported it to Walkersville; all we had to do is put it on the trays and try to make it look "pretty." I don't think we did too badly for three old guys who could care less about how it looks as long as it tastes good.

On the way back from the conference my phone rang and since I was driving I gave the phone to Irene to answer. It was a man who just moved to Brooklyn and wanted to know if we had a copy of the Book of Mormon to give him so he could read it and get baptized. She took down his name and phone number and I called him when we got to the apartment.

He said that he had started reading the Book of Mormon but his son may have thrown it out by mistake. He said that what he had read impressed him and he wanted to read the rest of it. I told him that I have enjoyed reading the Book of Mormon because of its testimony of Jesus Christ. I also told him that I enjoy reading the Bible too, and the two books testify that Jesus is the Christ, our Savior and Redeemer and the testimonies they give fill my heart with gratitude for the sacrifice Christ made for each of us. We will see him this week.
