appreciative. One of the people who came, was with us for the first time. He arrived in the U.S. from the People's Republic of China just ten days ago and will be studying toward an advanced degree in animal science at USU. He has a 13 year old son and a wife who will be joining him here later this year. He had heard about our English Class and asked a fellow student to bring him to the Church where it is held. Emily, who has attended our class before, brought some of her friends with her. We, of course were very happy to have them. They are all such wonderful people. They talk of how they are taught not to believe in God and that all religions are bad (the opiate of the people), but then they say something like this. "But in my heart, I think it's more likely there is a God and that there is good in some religions". They know almost nothing of the Mormons, but they are curious. We try not to be pushy in the least way, but let it be known, that we would be glad to tell them more about our faith. Tonight I was walking along the shore at Tony Grove lake with one of the young Chinese women. I was trying to be quiet and let her talk. Finally she said: "Mormons, I want to learn more about Mormons." She wanted to know when the church meetings start on Sunday here in Logan. Of course, we have lots of options, including even a small Chinese Group, which is attached to our ward here in Logan. We attended Sacrament Meeting with them last Sunday It is exciting to see how the Lord's work moves forward, and to know what a blessing it can be to all of mankind. We feel blessed to be a part of it. We are so glad to have our wonderful ward mission leaders at our side in this work. Below are a few pictures taken this evening at Tony Grove Lake.

So lucky!!! We are going to Tony Grove with the fifth graders on Thursday. I hope there isn't snow. We are showing them the evidence of glaciers and the erratic boulders because of erosion.
