Moments with Missionaries

(Note this happened Sept 7-8)
This afternoon in Provo we suddenly got hit with quit the thunderstorm; strong winds, rain (coming down hard and in buckets), thunder/lightning. We had some excitement at home with water coming in our front door, so we were running and grabbing towels and my dad was mopping it up. Just after we finished that, we got a knock on the door. It was the elders, they had been walking and got caught in the cloud burst, they were DRENCHED! Of course we had them come in, got more towels, and had them dry off. We visited with them for a bit, cause their appointments had cancelled. It was so much fun. I know most returned missionaries say things like this, but man I love helping the missionaries, it brings back good memories, and I feel as if I am paying it forward for all the help I received on my mission. Plus it's fun to swap stories with them. One of the elders is quite the character and the other is fairly new, so they are an interesting pair; but we love having them in our area. They work hard and have a passion for the gospel. Plus, especially this experience reminds me of the many times we were caught in the rain in good ol' Oregon. :P

That night I went to the MTC to be an "investigator." It was so nice to feel the Spirit and to be taught the gospel in a very simple and sweet way. I had a couple of investigators I worked with on my mission in mind, but it sort of came out different, but it worked well. It was a really good experience, the elders were great. Being there in the TRC brought back a flood of memories from my experiences there as a missionary which was wonderful to remember. My favorite was when the elders shared their testimonies at the the end; brought such a strong Spirit.
Sunday night the elders had dinner with us and we had some really good discussions with them. I love the fire our elders have, they work hard and do great work.
So that was some fun moments with missionaries..a while ago.
