I took some photos one morning this week while we were waiting for the start of our 7 am daily Preparation Meeting at Nauvoo Facilities Management. This is Dad playing prelude music. We don't have a piano so he plays this keyboard. He does a pretty good job.
This is Lee, one of the employees who will be conducting the meeting, asking Dad what the opening song will be. At this meeting we have announcements, a spiritual thought, and a prayer. It's a great way to start the day. It helps us to be unified in our efforts to make Nauvoo a beautiful place.
Here are the people who usually sit on the north side of the room. You know how people usually gravitate to their usual seat. You can tell which are missionaries pretty much by the grey hair. (BTW, doesn't Dad have about the most beautiful grey hair you've ever seen?) The others are employees, seasonal help and interns.That's Elder Speirs in front. He has a great smile. This is the Speirs' second mission here. He plays the doctor character in "Rendezvous" opposite my Agatha character. Sitting to the right in the picture is Elder Layton and I think the Laytons are on their 3rd mission here.
This one shows Dad's good friend and coworker Mark in front. My coworker, Sister Palmer is in the 3rd row, knitting. The young guys in the back are employees. Boy did I work them hard these last couple of weeks, moving furniture around to prepare for the arrival of our 80+ new missionaries.
This is the south side of the room. The young women in the back are interns. They will be helping Dad mow this summer. The man on the right front is the brilliant horticulturist, Durell. Ask him anything about plants and he will probably have an answer. He designs the beautiful gardens.
The guy in the front right crossing his leg is our tech person and there are also plumbers, carpenters, cabinet makers, painters, auto mechanics, graphic arts, grounds keepers and welders. It is really a treat to hear the testimonies of these blue collar "guys and gals"and Elders and Sisters when they have their turn to give the spiritual thought, and everyone takes a turn.
