Tonight we decided to attend "Sunset on the Mississippi", the presentation that is done on the outdoor stage and has the Young Performing Missionaries (YPM) and the site missionaries (the old Elders and Sisters that run all of the sites here in Nauvoo).  It runs through the next couple of weeks, I think.  But, it was pretty good nonetheless.

It all starts with the whole cast singing the opening song.  There are a lot of people on stage and everyone is doing their best to make everyone have a good time.

The Elders do this singing part with just them and they were really good tonight.  That bald headed guy in the middle is the mission physician.  He's quite a guy and a lot of fun when he acts in the performances.

To the left, center is our favorite site missionaries, Sisters Webb and Joines.

The end of the performance wraps up with the YPMs running out and singing to everyone and saying goodbye.  

The photographer set up a photo of the cast with the site missionaries and the YPMs as well as the Nauvoo Brass Band.  There are three casts and this is just this particular nights cast so there will be others that will have final pictures also.  So, only 4 more Monday nights and our mission is at an end.  We work every other night.

Well, we were at Toyota in Quincy today to get the trailer hitch finished up, hopefully.  They installed the hitch last week but didn't have all of the electrical ready so we had to come back today and have them finish it up.  Another couple of hours to do that.  

Well, the trailer hitch is finally installed and finished so that is checked off of our going home list.  Now for the next thing to pick up as we get ready to head West.

Our schedule changes this week.  We start at 3 PM most days, Tuesday through Friday then at 2 PM on Saturday.  We work till 10 PM on Fridays due to the last session being at 7:30 PM.  The nights are a bit longer than this last pageant month but it's our last month of our mission so we can handle it.  But, it will be a long month and very busy month for us.

We are planning to take a few days to go to Kirtland, OH and Palmyra, NY to visit the sites and the temples there and the other sites offered in the area.  We're looking forward to the break from the routine here and can't wait to be on our way.  But, we need to get through this next month first.  More to come...
