Saturday, May 28, 2016 – Sidewalks, Shopping in Keokuk, Family Living Ctr, “Sunset by the Mississippi”

Again overnight we had heavy rains, so, even though today is our P-day, Sis. Johnson and I spent the first part of the day picking up limbs and blowing the sidewalks around the visitor’s center. 

Since today is our P-day we were off to Keokuk, Iowa to do our weekly shopping. After our shopping was done we decided to drive up Grand Avenue before heading home. This street has some of the old majestic grand homes of a hundred years ago. It was a pretty drive with a great view of the Mississippi, the old grand homes and peaceful city parks. We’ve heard of this from other Senior Missionaries, we loved the self guided tour of discovery.

This afternoon we spent several hours at the “Family Living Center” to learn the script, procedures and tools we will need tomorrow afternoon. We’ve been assigned to serve there Sunday from 12:30 to 5PM.

Tonight was the début of our summer show, “Sunset by the Mississippi.” We’ve been practicing for two full months and tonight we finally took the big stage.  Sis. Johnson said, “I really enjoyed our show. I had a lot of fun.” And then she looked over her shoulder at me and said with a big smile, “A star is born!”
