Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God;

And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!  And if your joy will be great with one soul...how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!

Mighty prayer, deep faith, and high expectations...forever

And the next morning, just after I waved goodbye and the cars pulled away to take these missionaries to the airport, the sky above Temple hill looked like this...

Come back again soon!
