We are almost moved in (just a
few more minor items to find a spot for.
We had to change into Missionary Attire before we went to Keokok, Iowa to
Walmart. As I put my name tag on, I got
this special feeling come over me. The responsibility
that goes with that name tag is awesome.
As we were shopping at
Walmart, we met quite a few “newbies” doing the same shopping as us. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. As we drove up to the apartment, Elder Peck,
our neighbor, came out and helped us bring in the groceries. Tomorrow we meet at the Temple at 2:30 where
we will get a tour of the Temple and get set apart as Ordinance Workers in the
Nauvoo Illinois Temple.
