Today was a pretty good day.  Yesterday during the Marriage and Family Relations class that we are teaching with the Saldens, one of the counselor's in the Bishopric, who is attending with his wife, mentioned that he and his wife like sushi.  so, I asked if there were any good places for sushi in Burlington, Iowa.  I mean, really, how could we loose?  The stuff we've had so far is really bad, like Costco sitting around for the last two weeks bad so what could we loose?  He told us about a place in Burlington not too far from the church so, since yesterday was Father's Day, and that's just as good of an excuse as any, we drove back up there to find the place.  Sure enough, the sushi was pretty fair, actually pretty darned good.  But, it was't cheap.  Since we haven't had anything that was even remotely edible since we left in March, it was such a relief to find some great sushi to eat.

Tonight we had the Missionary Dinner and Talent Show.

Quite a group of Senior missionaries gathered together to eat and listen to the talents of each other.  The missionary standing to the right of the picture is the brother of Elder Richard G. Scott.  he serves in Nauvoo with us.  Cool, huh?

Elder Glutz taking pictures for us.  Some of his pictures are really good.

"There's a hole in my bucket" by the Adams.  Sister Adams really had a hard time keeping a straight face.

Elder Kirkam Smith, from Sacramento, does a rope magic trick with his mouth.  Weird, huh?

Even our Sister and President Hansen, counselor in the Temple Presidency, got into the act, with their rendition of Jack in the Bean Stalk.  Not one I've heard before.  Seems like she's done this before. 

Elder and Sister Allread sang/played "Where Can I turn for Peace".  I didn't know he could play a violin.  Such talent here in Nauvoo with our missionaries!

And, much to our delight, Justin informed us he will be ordained to the Melchizedek Priesthood this coming Sunday by his older brother in Bakersfield.  We are really excited about that and looking forward to the day the family can be sealed some day soon.  

So, all in all, not a bad day...

Oh, and they delayed us changing schedule until next week so we are on our regular schedule till next Monday.  Then we start the 40 hour weeks on nights...till we leave Nauvoo...
