This week has been unusual, at least for couple missionaries like us. We up and left the mission field. Of course, we had permission from the temple president, who is our mission president. We went to the Kansas City area for a couple of days. We left on Friday and just got back a few minutes ago on this fine Sunday afternoon. We went there to be with our granddaughter, Katie Brown, on her baptismal day. Kansas City is about five hours away by car, but as the Browns live on this side of the City, we were able to make the trip in about 4 and ½ hours each way. We attended Sacrament Meeting there as well before making the return trip back to Nauvoo.
For us it was a nice opportunity to have a quick break from the routine of temple work day in and day out. We discovered that the chapel where the Browns meet is just across the street from the Kansas City temple. We didn’t get to go inside, but it was nice to be in its shadow as pictures were taken there on her baptismal day.
This afternoon, we will be entering back into the Nauvoo temple to attend a meeting there. It is so good to be able to be in the temple business. There is such a wonderful feeling to be doing the Lord’s work in the sacred environment that exists in those marvelous buildings.
