January 10, 2016 - Sunday in Nauvoo

Bone chilling temperatures this morning for Church services... The thermometer registered -0- and the wind chill, some say, reached -32.  And the skies were clear and absent of clouds!  It did "warm up" to 11 degrees, but that was later this afternoon.  It was a great day to stay indoors!

After our morning devotional and prayers, we headed out the door to our meetings.  We had a marvelous Sacrament Meeting as we were able to take the Sacrament and renew our covenants.  Then we had some encouraging and inspiring talks from our speakers. We left the Sacrament Meeting at the Stake Center and then had our Sunday School, and Priesthood and Relief Society Meetings, at the Visitors center.

Our site assignment was at the Visitors Center for the 11:00am to 2:00pm shift.  We had a few guests come in at 12:00noon and a few more right before we left at 2:00pm.  We invited Sister Goodman over for breakfast for dinner at 2:30pm and then I had the privilege of giving her a Priesthood Blessing.  She is working on recording a new CD for the Rendezvous Play.  This CD will be the introduction for the new senior missionaries coming into the mission field this year, and she just wanted some additional help.

Then tonight I was able to finish my 4th knitted cap for the Humanitarian projects!  These are hats for the 2 and 3 year old heads.  Take a look!  You probably think these were purchased at Neiman Marcus just for this picture.... don't you?  They will probably win the Nauvoo fashion trend, "product of the year" award...

The knitted hat project
I hope they will serve the purpose that they are intended for!  It was fun to make them and now I am going to start my work of knitting one for each grandchild!  This should make for a very interesting Grandpa project!

Mom and I have been asked to teach Sunday School on January 31st.  It will be Lesson #5 in the Book of Mormon and we are excited to teach together!  Mom was already researching the lesson tonight and making plans for the lesson.  This will be the first time in a long time we have been able to teach a lesson together!  I hope we can keep the senior missionaries awake for 50 minutes!  I plan on having some fun trying!!
