I had a friend whose father was a farmer in upstate New York. He was German and had been trained as a machinist. He was of course a newcomer among his farmer neighbors. My friend's father tried to be friends with his neighbors but I guess they were a bit clannish up there, so he had to do a lot of the work on his farm alone, and much of it was back-breaking labor.
Then one day a neighbor had a machine that broke down. Having it fixed was out of the question, because it was made in Germany. The fittings were very precise. Finally someone thought of asking the German farmer if he could take a look at it. He did, took it apart, fixed the broken piece, and put it together again. It ran perfectly. He gained immeasurable credibility after that, and was from then on considered an equal.
I would like to have met Catherine and Logan. They (and many Mormons) do the work we Christians are supposed to be doing. We can learn a lot from them. I heard Dennis Prager say that the state of California is investigating Mormons now because they supported Proposition 9. If we don't have a police state now, we will have one soon. Time to start listening to the scanner again.
Proposition 9 I meant Prop 8.

The German farmer, is a sample of how people are, it was the same in Wellton, as they had many people who ‘passed through’ Wellton and did not stay, we were not accepted for about 2 years, except by Mary and some of the men that Bill worked with.
Yes, to the scanner, there are car fires again this week, all over the west and more gunfire, they had died down for a couple weeks, I am assuming that it is related to India.
Yes, Catherine and Logan were special people, with a history behind them that few know about.
Not many know, that in one of the Mormon Farm takeovers, that a great deal of the west was granted to them, to get them out of the east.
It is rarely found in the history books, but is true.
[Big Bear scanner. com, has a box van in full flames on the side of the road and is about to ignite the brush on fire, on the scanner now, just reported by an Officer. I think that is the url, as it does not show on the player, except when it starts.... ]
A western history class that I took at the college, about 1983, included a couple of days on a trip to St George, Utah, we made a circle/loop and saw several of the Mormon farms, etc as they are part of our history in Arizona.
Beautiful and the Peace in them is something to go and feel.
If you study the religion, you will find that it is not that different from any other Christian religion, they just added to it...and regular history books, even prove some of the beliefs that they have.
No, I won’t attempt to convert you, LOL, for that I would call Catherine and have her send the missionaries to you.
That is the threat she has made to me all these years, “Do you want me to call the Missionaries out for you?”
The state of California, had better investigate the terrorists they are harboring, as they keep sending anthrax/or envelopes of white powder to Utah, to Mormon Churches...fact, in the news.
We will have as much to fear from some of these anarchists as we do from the drug gangs.
