The day started out with a wonderful breakfast buffet. With tummys satisfied, the girls (and a few boys) were bused over to the visitors center where we watched a video on the founding of Nauvoo. We were also able to see several displays about life in Nauvoo in the mid 1800's. On display is the monument to women depicting the many beautiful and God-given attributes of women. At 11:00, the girls were in the temple doing baptisms in the largest baptismal font in the church - a replica of the one that the prophet Joseph prescribed for the original temple. It is 16 ft X 9 ft. At 1:00, the boys came for baptisms. Some of the adults did initiatory or an endowment session. When we weren't in the temple, we were sight-seeing and sampling some of the food in the area. At 3:30 we headed for the stake center and prepped for the show. At 5:30, a load of pizza arrived and LIGHT had another fun time with food. We had some very good flavors - taco, bacon cheese burger, BBQ beef, etc.. At 7:00, the show started to a room of over 100 people that had gathered from the community. Many of them were couple missionaries assigned to Nauvoo. After the show, Celeste explained the meaning of the F word (hint: focus).

I'm glad the couple missionaries came to the show! They put on a great show! Are you going to be able to see their show? The kids would love it. It is hilarious!
