1981 visitor returns to PCC


This is a picture of Ray Lockwood and his wife, Suzie, who visited the PCC Saturday, returning after their first visit in 1981.  Ray was not a member of the church in 1981 and his member-wife wanted to come to Laie to see the Temple.  They stopped at the Visitors' Center for a tour and a Senior missionary, Sister Haskell, took him in tow.  She showed him an exhibit and then send, "Oh, you need to see one more."  Then she would show him another.  After which she would say, "Oh, you need to see one more."  This continued all through the VC.  At the end of the tour she said, "Of course you will want to sign our guest book," (the forerunner to the Comment cards we now use).  And while he was signing she said, "Of course you will want to have the missionaries visit you when you return home."  And he said, "Of course."  The two of them returned home, the missionaries came, and Ray was baptized.  And their entire lives were changed forever, thanks to a sweet and unbashful sister missionary in Hawaii.
