March 20, 1972 Monday

It was D-day today. We played paddle ball and basketball and cleaned up.

This evening we played cards with the Connor family. They look really great and are coming along fine.

I owe the branch president an apology. He is a humble, sincere and inspired man. I feel bad about my comments made on page 36.

March 19, 1972 Sunday

Today was a busy day. We put in 12 hours and tought three meetings. The last meeting was with the Smith family, and they really look golden. They are considering coming to church next week and seem sincere in their interest. That meeting lasted from 6:30 to 9:00.  After which I closed my two day fast. Elder Mathes had been sick and closed his at noon because he was getting week.

Today the Samoan people who are performing at the Hilton in put on a program for the church. Most of them are members of the church and they sing "Love at Home" with the audience.  During "Love at Home" Prince who is the star broke down in tears. It was through Prince's missionary efforts that six of his group joined the church. It was really a touching affair.

We taught the Connors a meeting on apostasy. It looks good for them.

March 17, 1972 Friday

Not much of a important happen today, Friday. We tracted and went on callbacks all day and went to a Bible study, but we couldn't find anyone there so we spent the evening with brother and sister Pearson. We opened our 2 day fast at 5 o'clock.

We taught to meetings today. One was to Charles heart, a student at North Dakota State University. The other was to Jean Rohr.  Whose wife I have about two months is a member. They both look good.

We stopped at brother and sister Boes on the way home but they were going out so we came on home

March 15, 1972 Wednesday

We had a wonderful meeting with sister Lamb. She has decided to be baptized, and we set the date for April 8, 1972.

We studied and rested most of the rest of the day. Elder Mathis is just about over the flu.

We watched Billy Graham on TV at the Ohlstrom's. He is a fabulous speaker, but just doesn't have all the truth.

March 14, 1972 Tuesday

My companion is almost better now. We made it out to do a little work this afternoon. We taught a meeting to some Jesus freaks. My companion didn't teach the meeting the way I think it should have been taught. He put the people on the defensive and cut them down. I had to step in and cool things down. I finally left to go to the car after a book of Mormon. The spirit of contention was stick in the air and I had to leave.

We washed our clothes and spent the evening with Lori Hanson and her mother.
