Here we are ready for the day as Nauvoo Missionaries

And immediately they have us PARTICIPATING, we did not know what we were doing but we were doing!!!! Here is Elder Flake strummin' "Have I told you lately that I love you" which will be a special number during "Sunset by the Mississippi" starting next week.

There are some horses on our way to preparation meeting each morning. I love to feed them. I have learned they do not like grapefruit, asparagus or oranges. Picky Picky!! They love apples and carrots!

In the Family Living Center we teach about making cloth, candles, bread, rope, barrels and rugs. Elder Flake is now an "expert" at rug weaving on the loom.

I am at the outside back of the Family Living by the "bustle over" where I made bread. It was great fun. Although to make bread daily, it is much easier in the bread machine. If you look close you can see the "bustle" shape, the oven opening is inside.

Come to Nauvoo to hear the rest of the story...!

Mary Ann Young, Brigham's wife, was an equally great woman and was a worthy companion to this great man. I learned from reading a letter she wrote to Brigham at the time the Prophet Joseph Smith was martyred, the power of the Holy Ghost was her constant companion in helping them ENDURE!!
As it can with us!!!!!

Elder Flake preaching in the Seventies Hall. The same hall his great great great great grandfather James M. Flake sat in and probably had a chance to preach in also.


Elder Flake during the Rendezvous show. The men sing a song "willingly because we have to". then it changes to "willingly because we want to". This depicts most of the Saints attitude..."we will suffer wrong rather than do wrong". Great message for us today!


Meet Gabe and Gary. Here come the oxen, oh how slow, but they were steady, and not picky eaters like the horses!!! They ate anything and everything the prairie and mountains had to offer. Come on over for a ride!!!

What beautiful pictures you have taken. Great job. I loved reading about all your adventures. You both are awesome!!!
Dear Flakes,
I loved the snaps of the different activities you have been working in---seeing the horses, then oxen, temple from different angles, the loom, and what was Bill playing? Did he learn there or already know how to play? What a fun summer you will have playing with the children!
