The Lord is surely moving in Salt Lake City! The saints have testified that ever since the church has taken the ground here, there has been a shift in the spiritual atmosphere from that of oppression to one of clear skies.

We all arrived by plane yesterday and spent the afternoon resting/working on the meeting hall in Salt Lake City, which is in fact a house that the church bought and converted into a meeting hall. The saints are currently working on it, and we have joined in their labor. In the evening, we split and blended with the saints in two different home meetings, Chinese and English-speaking.

Today, we spent the day continuing to work on the meeting hall and packaged 400 New Testament Recovery Versions to be distributed in these coming weeks. Tonight, we had dinner and orientation at the Eliason’s, where we prayed and went over the focus of our time here (contacting people at the University of Utah and joining their church life), our gospel work as BfA volunteers, and some things to know about Mormons, as Salt Lake City is the Mormon capital, and thereby heavily populated by such. All our labor, whether construction or handling Bibles, is preceded by prayer. It has been a joy just going from house to house, blending with the saints and entering into their burden.

Prayer burdens:

• We will be going door-knocking tomorrow in the Sugarhouse neighborhood nearby the campus. Pray that we would find the sons of peace, those that the Lord has prepared to meet us.
• Pray for the campus work. At the University of Utah (aka U of U), there are 2 core “Utes” and many new ones. There were five newly baptized students last week. Pray that in our appointments these ones would be properly nourished and fed. Pray also for our first Bible study this coming Thursday.
• Pray for the blending among the saints, that the saints would learn to depend on each other, to see each other more and to shepherd one another.
