Honaker Festival...

 Elder Green, pictured in center is an artist.
He and his wife are Senior Missionaries in Princeton, WV and he volunteers his talent to invite others to learn about Christ by painting pictures of the Restoration at local fairs.

 Elders Cannole and Stoven
Honaker, Russel County, VA
4th of July Festival, 2012

 Elder Green spent the day painting this picture of Joseph Smith
receiving answer to his prayer:  James 1:5
Many people were drawn into our booth to watch and learn the stories behind the pictures on display:
Jesus Christ... Daniel in the Lion's Den... Mormon abridging the Nephite history on gold plates...
Moroni burying the gold plates in a hillside... etc.

 At the end of the guided tour visitors were offered a copy of the Book of Mormon,
a volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible and a record of God's dealings with the ancient inhabitants of the Americas.  We gave away 20 copies in 3 hours!

Of course there were a few other displays at the festival that caught the attention of Elder Hunt.
