Here We Go!

We just returned from our first rehearsal for our parts of Peter and Abigail in Rendevous In Old Nauvoo.  we'll get it, but we have a ways to go.  We were told today to plan on playing that part begining on the 17th of April.  That only gives us a couple of weeks and we haven't even been on stage yet as a part of the cast!  a lot to learn!  Looks like we will go on as a part of the big cast on Tuesday of this week, unless somenthing changes.  We think we know the songs, We'll see.  They called us to be the assistant site leaders for the Nauvoo Visitors Center.  We will be going over in the morning to learn about our duties and then we start serving on Tuesday.  We'll be the ones in charge on the days we serve there and that is a scary thought, since we have only served there one day!  The other couple that will be there with us on Tuesday has never served in the visitor center.  Talk about the blind leading the blind!  It'll work out, however, because things have a way of doing that around here.  I think the Lord must have a special love for this place because the Spirit is here in everything that goes on.  What a great experience!  Our prep day has been changed to Monday and so we'll spend tomorrow trying to get oriented to the visitor center and then take the rest of the prep day and do some exploring in the country side.  We have come to love the Illinois and Iowa country side.  It is understandable why the Saints loved this place.  There is a sociable this evening and a fellow is going to talk about Joseph Smith and the Ancient Prophets.  should be interesting.  Mom got her show dress this week and she looks like the most beautiful 1840's lady you ever saw(the short hair adds an interesting 2011 touch).  Now we have all of our show clothes, there is no excuse not to get on with it.  So..... on with the show.
Well, we're off to the sociable.
