Our Assignments

We received our assignments during our 1st week of training.  We are at the temple five days a week.  Our schedule is:
  • Monday - 12:30 - 6:00 p.m.
  • Tuesday - 1:30 - 8:00 p.m.
  • Thursday - 7:30 - 2:00 p.m.
  • Friday - 7:30 - 2:00 p.m.
  • Saturday - 7:30 - 2:00 p.m.
Wednesday is our P (preparation) day.  This is a day to run errands and to see some of the sights in the area.   About 10 other couples have the same preparation day and it is likely that we will go to visit places together.  For example on May 7th several of us went to the jail at Carthage, followed by dinner at a local mexican restaurant. 

Kirksville, Missiouri LDS Chapel
On Sunday we have been asked to attend the Kirksville, Missouri 2nd ward.  We attend this ward with Elder and Sister Rich. Kirksville is about 100 miles from Nauvoo ... it takes a little over 2 hours to drive there. Kirksville has three colleges.  Two of these are medical schools and there are several young couples attending the ward that go to school there.

We have been asked to teach a temple preparation class for two young men who will be leaving on their missions in the near future.
