Monday, September 19, 2016 – FM Prayer Meeting, Sis. Knapp, Wood Chips, Carthage

We spent the day working in Nauvoo. By this Friday, Sis. Johnson and I will be completely moved to Nauvoo and working there three out of five days a week. Today and tomorrow our assignment is to learn all we can from Sis. Knapp. We are replacing her in Nauvoo and she and Bro. Knapp are going home in four days.  For the last year and a half, Sis. Knapp has been the missionary in charge of all of the grounds in Nauvoo. She has a wealth of experience and Sis. Johnson and I will have to learn everything from her in just two days. 

In addition to teaching us the “where, how and when” of the Nauvoo grounds, Sis. Knapp also had us helping her completely clean & blow Main Street. Next we cleaned out from under the trees near the Cultural Hall, pulled weeds and cut off suckers. Then we hauled and placed wood chips around the trees near the Cultural Hall.

 

We ate our lunch at our new home in Nauvoo. We are a long way from moved in but it is starting to feel like home. After lunch we still had to do our regular chores on the grounds in Carthage. While Sis. Johnson watered the flower beds and the terracotta planters; I blew and cleaned the parking lot. We did a lot of work today.
