Fall Foalage street fair - W E S T P O I N T





We were blessed to be invited to be apart of a street fair at West Point Academy. Actually we did nothing but admire the ingenuity, creativity, fearlessness and wonderment of our Zone Leaders, Elder Johnson and Evans. We showed up to an amazing both that they set up, and watched them share the gospel. they didn't need our help, they are awesome. We were just grateful for the opportunity to be apart of the activity.

The rumor we heard is that this street fair is in conjunction with a huge yard sale put together by all the cadets and their families that live on base. They can only have yard sales twice a year and it has to be combined. It is huge. There are also guided tours of the academy which attracts many people at this time of year due to the fall colors. So there is an estimated 10,000 people who might pass by our booth, "Truth Restored". We stayed till noon at which time we attempted to get conference on line on our lap-top. We had to drive about 20 miles away to get our wireless service to kick in. We missed the first hour of the morning session so we'll have to get it on line next week when it is available. We love general conference, and enjoyed listening to our prophet and all the general authorities.

Doug is off to a pot-luck dinner for all the priesthood brothers and then will enjoy the priesthood session with them at the church.
