Today in testimony meeting I was again reminded that it doesn’t take a big ward and the Utah type Mormons to feel the spirit of good people trying to live the gospel. It was a spiritual feast provided by the humble members we are getting to know. The church is alive and well in Keokuk Iowa!
Every fast Sunday the temple missionaries are put in groups for a break the fast dinner so that we have more opportunities to get to know people. It’s impossible to feel lonely here- they do so many things to help you connect with others.
The highlight was a special meeting where some of the Nauvoo cast performers presented a short vignette about the apostles mission to England. It was only about 15 minutes long but again - such a powerful and inspiring presentation. To actually hear and see Brigham Young, John Taylor, wilford woodruff, Heber c kimball and one more (I forget) tell their stories and experiences makes it so much more real than just reading about them in books. I don’t know how they do it and who writes these plays but I’m so grateful for them. Even when you know the story it comes across at a different level when it is performed.
It was another great day in Nauvoo!
