103* AND YOU EXPECT ME TO DO WHAT??????


So let’s just say that the wonderful weather we had for the first month we were here is no longer.It has been so bloody hot and humid I can hardly breathe.  Not to mention, I think I have a heat rash that is covering my chest, to make it worse we are still performing OUTSIDE! IN THE SUN! Did I mention we were performing outside???”?????
So I keep telling myself, I’m a missionary, I can do hard things, but my sweat glands have not gotten the call yet.  I am waving a fan so hard in front of my face that I have carpal tunnel and yet my hair is still dripping.  And we haven’t even started the show yet. Richard sits beside me with an ice pack on my back, I am sitting on a chunk of frozen ice, with a wet band around my neck.  I look lovely………..But the show must go on and so I do. 
We did the Clarinet Polka tonight and your dad and I were pretty stinking good.  The show is actually so much fun and I love the people here in the mish (that’s missionary talk, right Jonathan?). I have met some of the greatest people, I really do love them.  For some reason they think I am pretty funny or stupid, I am not sure which.
Tomorrow is our P-Day and we have to go into Quincy.  I need a new pair of shoes, if I am going to climb the pole!  Then tomorrow night we will be eating at the Openshaws. 
Today I worked at the Cultural Hall.  I really like it in there.   It seems to be a happy place to me.  We have a wonderful play, and then I got to listen to the band twice, with tours in between.  I go and dance around on the dance
floor every time I am there.

We were all singing, “Do As I’m Doing,” with the puppets.

These kids are remarkably talented!  They make Nauvoo a swinging place.
