first photograph - NAUVOO, ILL

Christine is  in Nauvoo, Ilinois!! A couple from our ward (congregation) was visiting Nauvoo as an LDS church historical site, and ran into Christine - now we know where she has been assigned! Her Pday is Monday, and so we would not have known until then. Thank you to our friends at church who took and sent this photo!

Mom is glad to see her with her official name tag....that makes it official to see her with that.

We can't wait to hear from her on Monday!

Before leaving the MTC, she purchased (and sent home) a Hymn book in German and one in Japanese....her language skills will be reinforced when she sings them.

Short history of Nauvoo - after the extermination order of Saints in Missouri encouraged them to leave, they went to the swamp lands of Nauvoo, drained it, built a magnificent city, laid out by Joseph Smith, and created a wonderful place for so many Saints to gather.  They were eventually chased out of there, too.
