These are the Sisters serving at Historic Liberty Jail at the
Eight Witnesses' Monument.
We sang, "We'll Bring the World His Truth", had an opening prayer.
Brother Lovell gave a history to us about the site. These 8
Sisters each bore their own powerful witness/testimony of the
Book of Mormon. We had a closing prayer and had some of
my homemade whole wheat muffins for breakfast! We then
went to the cemetery where Alexander Doniphan was buried.
He was a friend to Joseph Smith and the early saints as he helped
them in times of trouble.
Singing...Elders Lovell and Bronson, Me, Sister Lovell, Sisters
Malm, Moulton, Udall, Dawson, Murdock, W. Anderson,

Words from Elder Peterson before they the Sister bore their own
witness/testimony of the Book of Mormon and this great work.
And here are our own "eight witnesses" serving at HLJ.

Udall, Malm and Moulton. It was a beautiful way to start the
day, even though it was very cold!.

Training at The VC...
Training at the Visitors' Center was great too. Elder and Sister
Sharp gave a presentation on the power of the Spirit in Conversion.
The Sister Training Leaders, Sisters
Draper and GC, gave a training, also. They taught on using the
spirit in teaching and they each had miracle stories about their own
experiences with listening to the Spirit and having it guide them in
their teaching. Elder Peterson taught about "How to begin teaching"
from chapter 10. in PMG. It's important to show sincere interest and
love for the guest/investigator and faith in the converting power of
the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It's important to try to discern their
needs in the greeting time. He asked for ideas and listed a
variety of good, inspired questions to help us get to know
the visitors' agenda, instead of just following ours!
We were pleasantly surprised when Sister Vest showed up to our
training. She left an encouraging message of love and courage.
We love her so much! We enjoyed whole wheat muffins that
morning also.
