I know it's been awhile since I've updated my blog...so here's a few pictures...
Our first Sunday here we went on a tour in the town of Carthage, This is our whole group of new missionaries that came in last saturday, plus the Presidency, (back row: President Gilliland, President Barlow, and President Samon) don't know what order their in...and I know they were there with us...but I can't point them out to you. For those of you that don't know about Carthage Illinois this is where Joseph Smith and his brother were killed by a the mob...we toured the jail...I have to say it was heart wrenching...to hear the story....
Elder Nemeck and Elder Meire.
The kitchen in our small but humble home for the next 6 months.
Our living room..well most of it..
My first day in my 'site clothes' I get to start doing tours (for the next 3 days)White aprons are worn when we give tours in the homes. As I did in the John Taylor Home and will do again tomorrow.
A close up...white hair, white face, and white hat...but that's the way the people looked in the 1840s.
Now this is a picture to keep! it was all I could do to get Elder Nemecks picture...we have to work on that smile..He really was happy and excited to work in the Blacksmith/Wainwright Shop...
So now I've got you pretty much up to date...we are so busy we can't believe it...we are in bed usually by 8:30 and up at 5 or 5:30 each morning...7 days a week...retirement it's not...but we love our mission and being here in Old Nauvoo!!
