Awesome Email

We received another wonderful email from the Murset's (leaders of the Nauvoo Brass Band). It included this photo and message:
You may wish to click on the song "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief" (#30) in the music box above, while you read this post.



"We could not help ourselves and had to send the attached picture of your missionaries at the Carthage Jail. They have been doing such a good job of learning their parts and music we were able to get permission to tour the Jail. We went before it opened on Sunday and had our own special tour, by the site missionaries.

The highlight was being able to sing in the Martyrdom Room. Because of the size of the group we split up as Band and Stage Missionaries. The Stage Missionaries sang one of the songs from High Hopes and River Boats call Brothers. It is the song sung when it is found out the Prophet Joseph and Hyrum are killed. It is a beautiful song and there was not a dry eye in the room. The Band Missionaries sang Praise to the Man and again there was not a dry eye.

We then met in the Visitors Center (it was cold and blustery outside) and had a short Spirit filled testimony meeting, a kneeling word of prayer and then sang A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief. Needless to say this day was a Spiritual feast."


Brother and Sister Murset closed their email with a request ... MAIL!!! So, just in case you might like to write, here is the mailing address for letters -

YPM Elder Chase Hebdon
PO Box 215
Nauvoo, IL 62354

(Packages go to a different address, so if you want that you can call or email me.)

It is so wonderful that with all of the work the Murset's have to do, they are taking time to share with us. I hope these photos and emails keep coming - we are loving them!
