Mom was up and going early this morning and I was up, after her, at 5:00am to begin my day. We had our morning prayers and devotional and a few stretching exercises before we headed out for our 3.5 mile walk. The morning temperature was warmer today than yesterday, and was in the low 50's, so an extra jacket was not necessary. We were back home at about 7:15am and I finished up some exercises while mom got ready for the day.
We had the early shift at the Visitor's center and that began at 8:45am and we were off at 2:00pm. It really is a great shift and we had some steady visitors this morning. Our main focus is to welcome the guests and help them organize their visit to Nauvoo. We have maps of the area, movies to see, and general welcoming questions to ask, so that we can better help them to make the most of their visit to Nauvoo and Carthage.
Here is a breakthrough photo of a senior missionary who had just completed her first phone call transfer;
It is a tremendously daring undertaking to attempt to transfer a phone call from one extension to another here in the Nauvoo Visitors Center. The possibilities for losing that call are magnified by the fear of hitting the wrong buttons. In this case, there was no immediate follow-up phone call indicating a lost connection, so we made the executive decision that the transfer of that call was successful....
We are doing a lot of walking back here in the Nauvoo flats. From March 2015 through August 2015, we complied over 7,000 miles on our vehicle. From the first of September 2015 to the present, we have totaled less that 200 miles. The weather has been favorable so we are enjoying the morning and afternoon walks around the lower flats of Nauvoo.
Our shift ended at 2:00pm and we took a stroll home along Partridge Street and enjoyed a nice afternoon in our little home away from home. We marvel at the wonderful people we are meeting each day as we serve here. There are more guests coming to Nauvoo in the "off" season, when the crowds are quite small, and we get to talk more about who they are and what their lives involve. I am enjoying this opportunity in the visitors center to help folks get the most out of their visits here and mom has been great at offering Books of Mormon to those who have any sparks of interest.
It has been a good day! Our Family Home Evening consisted of listening to conference talks fro our last conference. What a great blessing it is to be led by inspired Prophets and Apostles! We are grateful to be serving a full time senior mission and we are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support from family and friends!
