Our day started off at 38 degrees this morning at 6:00am, and it was cold! We got a good start with our morning devotional and with our assignment to clean the Carthage Jail, and take our long morning walk. What a privilege it is to help work on the upkeep of the historic site here in Carthage as well as giving historic tours to guests from all over the world!
We did have a very slow day, again today. This time of year is right between Spring break and the end of school terms. I am sure the closing of the Nauvoo Temple contributes as well to the slow period. We were working with two young sister missionaries and a senior couple today. However, we only had six tours all day so it was hard to keep everyone awake! So goes the work on a slower day. I did catch this one picture of my mission companion;
Sure beats the picture of the great haircut, doesn't it! I had a group arrive right near closing and I gave them the full tour. They were on their way home to Maine after they picked up their son and daughter-in-law from BYU-Idaho. The son just graduated and they were going home to Maine to join the family business. You have got to love those family businesses!
Although it has been a slow day, it has been a good day. Mom and I came home for a quiet evening, rare here in the mission field. We hope that each of you are doing well and we thank you for keeping us posted on your lives as we live at this portion of our lives here in the Nauvoo Mission! By the way, I was given the assignment to pick up the hot dogs and the buns for our cast party May 1st. Everyone will get a sampling of the Topp Dawg Cuisine on that Friday activity!
Aww your talent for grilling hot dogs does come in handy on the mission! :)
