Closing of VC doesn't deter Service

The VC was closed for a day while the inside counter was "tented" for termites.  In the afternoon we set up an outside station and greeted guests who came to visit.

One non-member guest, Wisley Butler, was told by a friend to come and see the temple.  He had visited the VC before.  Don spent 45 minutes walking the grounds with him and invited him to learn more.  He left but returned about 30 minutes later with his member-friend.  And about the same time the two sister missionaries, Sister Largent and Sister Kamada, who cover the member's ward showed up.  He accepted the invitation to come to the VC on Sunday, around 11:30 am (after he attends church with his friend) and have Sisters Largent and Kamada teach him the first discussion.

Another visitor was Jeff, a frequent VC visitor.  He is from Mesa, AZ and a RM from Taiwan.  He shared that he is unofficially engaged to marry a girl from Taiwan, but they are waiting until she  finishes a mission on Temple Square.  We told him we'd look her up when we return home if he e-mails us her name and let us know when she arrives in SLC.
