As FM (facility management) missionaries we don't have the luxury of taking off on holidays. Since the site missionaries have to work, so do we. The full-time employees didn't have to work though so our morning meeting had to be conducted by someone. Sister Grigsby was chosen as she and her husband are the most tenured missionaries. Here she is giving us the assignments for devotional for the next two days.
Since the full timers were on vacation, I had the opportunity to go out and work on the grounds with Sister Grigsby and Bailie. It was hot and humid and I loved it! I was able to go pick up piles of sticks, trim some bushes and weed some flowerbeds. How I've missed working with those beautiful ladies! I figure that on holidays I can find something to do with the grounds people rather than sit in a closed office.
After work, we headed to Hannibal, MO to attend a branch picnic. It's called a Grip and Grin. I have no idea what that means. The food was good and it was good to talk to some of the people that we see every week but don't get to know very personally. It was held at Riverview Park along the Mississippi. With a view like this, no wonder it is called Riverview!
And of course we needed a selfie. Life is good. We shopped a little and then came back for the YSM concert which was excellent. (See previous post.)
