Tours

Back in October we began giving tours of a few of the sites.  

There was a great need since there were so few missionaries who knew the sites.  We had a bunch of YSMs leaving to go home and/or outbound and the new ones weren't here yet or were just learning.  

So we decided that we would learn some places and give some tours.

We began with the Riser Boot and then went to the Browning Home and Gun shop.

Then we learned the temple city which is three homes and Carthage.  Finally we learned the Tinsmith but that wasn't our favorite.

When we began doing temple city, we did the entire thing by ourselves.  Now it is done with three companionships with one in each home.  We gather and share the screen as hosts.

Two weeks ago we were able to join the Hokansons and Binghams in doing temple city.  We chose to give the Edward and Ann Hunter part of the tour.  After the first one, Sister Bingham contacted all the other seniors to tell them to get on our next tour so they could get a demonstration on how the Plesheks do a tour.  Apparently we were quite good.

It was fun doing the tour with them.  At the end, one couple closes the tour with their testimony or whatever they want to say.  Since we knew people in some of the tours, we were able to do that.  I did miss not being able to give the entire tour.  There are so many things that I love in each of those spaces and I missed that.  

This was a wonderful part of our mission!  I'm so thankful that my husband volunteered us host tours.  I feel like we've had the best of both worlds in being able to work in the sites and then go back and give tours.  I will miss this part of being a missionary.
