So you have to appreciate small town living. There are many wonderful things about being in a small community. One of those is BOOOTIFUL Nauvoo. Each year before Halloween, they have a night where a large crowd comes to happily celebrate Halloween. The mission is certainly a very big part of this celebration. Like I said in my previous post, we filled over 750 bags with GOOD candy for the children of Nauvoo. We also as missionaries pop kettle corn for the whole town. They said that they popped l50 pounds of popcorn.
They have even made their own popcorn popper! These are real men!
My sweet Elder Christensen working tirelessly on any and everything!!! What a hero!
So I got to hand out popcorn all night. What fun, people were so happy and it was a very fun tradition.
You are never tooooooo old right? Well maybe?
Sister Nelson and I…….
At least I think you are never toooo old to have fun!
Just some of the 500*****************************pumpkins that our mission carved. Man, talk about community service!

I put this one in for Kelly and Taryn,, I think it is from Star Wars?
The Beast from Beauty and the Beast…..Anyway, you get the idea, these pumpkins lined all of main street. Even the shop windows ( there are three shops in Nauvoo) all had decorations.
People milling around in costumes.
Kiddie car in the parade.
Our missionaries had a “crazy band,” in the parade.
Of course, here is my token horse picture. I just love them….
So here is to BOOOOOTIFUL NAUVOO.. I guess that I will get to participate in it one more time………………(Not sure how I feel about that but) What do you think will happen for Thanksgiving??????
