Yesterday after our temple shift we actually went to a movie - in a theater! (We haven’t done that since we all went to see Coco). One of the missionaries arranged for the theater in Keokuk to do a special showing for the missionaries of The Other Side of Heaven 2, about elder Groberg’s experiences as mission president in Tonga. It was excellent and sure made you realize how hard some missions are (and how easy others are🙄). We took my cousin Karen and mike with us and then went out to dinner. Restaurant choices are few and far between but we enjoyed ourselves at a little Mexican place that you would drive by in other circumstances. Today after our temple shift we went to a vignette in the beautiful Women’s Garden about the women of Nauvoo and the beginning of Relief Society. It was so good. I am always amazed at how these performances touch you and share such uplifting messages - even in 15 minutes. Then we watched a brief film in the visitor center called Remembering Nauvoo. Also wonderful. Nauvoo was a happy place those first few years. Great things were done here. And great things are still being done here!
We also stopped at the Lyons Drug and Variety Store - the largest general store in Nauvoo. The sister missionaries do a great job telling about the sites and the people who lived here.
