October 6, 2015 - Tuesday in Nauvoo

It was a cloudy and cool morning as we began our day here in Nauvoo.  Mom was up early around 4:00am, and I was up at a little past 5:00am ready to get going!  As we regularly do, we began our morning with Scripture reading and prayer.  We also read from President Hinckley's book, "Stand a Little Taller".  It always gives us a lift on the day.  In addition we read the set of Scriptures we have elected to "ponderize" this week.  Mom and I both read them together in the morning and the evening and we each try to read them during the course of our day and ponder over their significance in our lives.

Our walk started at 6:00am and lasted for about an hour.  We so enjoy these early morning vigorous walks around the Nauvoo flats.  It takes us about an hour to walk the three miles.  We then got ready for the day and drove to Keokuk for our grocery shopping.  We worked at the Visitors Center here in Nauvoo this afternoon from 1:00pm to 6:00pm so we had a jump on doing our grocery shopping and getting that done to leave a little more time in our P-day tomorrow.

Mom was on fire today at the Visitors center.  She had two ladies, an older daughter and her mother, that she was able to share two Books of Mormon with.  Then a few minutes later she was handing off another set of Books of Mormon to a couple trying to "reconnect with God".  They stayed and watched every movie in the Visitors Center, and plan on seeing the different sites tomorrow.  They may even come and see us in Rendezvous tomorrow night!  I was so proud of mom and her efforts to share the Gospel!
