Mom and I were able to enjoy this Sabbath Day by attending our morning meetings, and having the day free from site assignments. We were up early for our morning prayers and devotional. We then prepared for the day, and left for the Sacrament Meeting at about 7:00am. We took the opportunity to walk to the Church. It is about .6 of a mile from our home. And it was a beautiful Sunday morning stroll to our meetings.
The meeting was a little jumbled with the organist coming about 15 minutes later than usual. But we always enjoy coming to the meeting early. Next week we will get to speak in the Sacrament Meeting, and that will complete the assignment for each missionary to speak in Sacrament, teach Sunday School and teach Relief Society and Priesthood, during their mission here.
We got the assignment within three weeks of arriving here last year to teach Relief Society and Priesthood. Then we taught Sunday School this past March 2016, and now Sacrament this coming Sunday. Our first two assignments came in the months with the lowest number of missionaries here in Nauvoo. Now the Sacrament meeting this coming Sunday is on Memorial Day weekend. And then, we get to welcome the Lasher Family the following Wednesday!! We are so excited!
After our meetings today we had a dinner invitation with Elder and Sister Skinner. We have enjoyed getting to know them this past year. They are in our Emma Hale Cast and we have done a few things with them over the last year. We will look forward to staying in touch with them after our mission. Sister Skinner fixed her wonderful enchiladas and mom brought our favorite salad.
And the best part about our relationship is that we both enjoy Sunday afternoon naps! We left for home at around 1:30pm and mom and I have had a very quiet and reflective afternoon. We have also been able to review our messages for next Sunday.
