Hi Gang, This has been a pretty typical week in good Old Nauvoo. Work, performances and P-day activities. On Tuesday for our mission training mtg. we heard from a general authority, Elder Choi of the Seventies. He and his family also came to our Rendevous performace that night, a lot of the humor went way over their heads, they are from Korea. As you can see I spend some of my time with the jumping jack tamping already hard soil. The temple is right behind the wrought iron fence. For P-day we went to Keokuk and watched the 25th Annual reenactment of a civil war battle of Shiloh, Hornet's Nest. It was really quite impressive lots of smoke and loud noise. There were 4 canons that fire
back and forth at each other. It lasted for about 45 minutes with attacks and retreats on both sides. Lots of emphasis of authenticity in clothing and weapons, a whole bunch of black powder was used also. Saturday we met the Jones (Carol and Blair) family. Bret Tueller was with them, He is married to Carol's grandaughter. They were here for a family reunion. Happy birthday to Theo and Shrader coming up. Rained all day today so things are pretty wet. We miss you all especially the ball games, but really enjoy being here and feeling the spirit. Love Mom & Dad/ Robert and Susan
