September 22, 2015 - Tuesday in Nauvoo

We had a pretty basic day of service here in Nauvoo.  Our morning began with an early rising and devotional and then our morning walk.  This was our day to serve in the Nauvoo Visitors center and we were on the opening schedule.  There weren't many visitors today but we had fun with those coming in.  The visitors were from various places in the United States and came in September to avoid the summer crowds.  Mom and I are continuing to learn the processes of the visitors center and there is so much to know!  

Today's weather warmed up a little over yesterday.  The early morning temperature was in the upper 50's and by the time we were walking home, it was in the upper 80's.  However, the shaded parts of the walk home were very comfortable!  The Fall is coming on stronger each day and the trees are beginning to slowly turn into fall colors.

I was happy to get home by 2:00pm today.  Mom and I had our dinner at around 2:30pm and I got to take a nice long nap.  Then Rendezvous was at 6:30pm tonight and seemed to go fairly well until I totally missed a part I was supposed to cover.  Thank you to Elder Spiers who seems to cover all the missed parts of the play on a very regular basis!  We will miss them when they leave for home in October!

Here is a thought that we got from our Rendezvous Green room activities tonight.  There was a young 9 year old boy in the sites yesterday who was so excited about what he was being taught in the various sites he and his family visited.  At the Family Living Center he was overheard saying, "mom, now I know there is a God, because all the missionaries have told me".  

 How is that for impacting a young man who is starting to develop his own testimony?  I can't help but think of our 4 oldest grandchildren who are around the age of this precious young man!  I can add to this young man's developing testimony to let these, our grandchildren know, that there really is a God and that we are all a part of His family!  The Gospel has been restored in these the last days and we are here to help in moving this marvelous work forward!  And the best part is that we get to all work together!
