It has taken four tries but we got the trailer lights to work today. I hate it when electrical problems are intermittent so when you think all is repaired, the glitch rears its ugly head again. But they work now and we’ll be able to leave on Monday morning as planned. Thank you Kendall Gallaher for your time and help solving my problem.

One of the things Sis. Johnson and I have enjoyed about living in Nauvoo out in the woods at the end of a cul-de-sac is the wildlife. We get to see Deer, Cardinals, Blue Jays, colorful Woodpeckers, Hawks, Eagles, Raccoons, Possums and Groundhogs. Almost daily a herd of Does and their fawns wonder through our yard. They are a beautiful sight and we never get tired of seeing them.

A couple of weeks ago Elder Kyle Johnson was asked to be Frankenstein and participate with the other Senior Missionaries in tonight’s “Boo-tiful Nauvoo” parade and festivities in downtown Nauvoo. Elder Kyle Johnson was in his element dancing and performing for the crowds along the parade route. He is a natural born entertainer.

It was a chilly night; the temperature was in the high 30’s but that didn’t dampen anyone’s spirit. The Senior Missionaries had three entries in the parade down Mulholland Street. The “Boo-tiful Nauvoo” parade and festivities was a huge success again this year. People come to Nauvoo from all over the tri-state area to enjoy the parade, food and festival.
