Post Office


S/May an 80 yr old sister from Nevada, is the #1 missionary here in Nauvoo. She is at her post each day with a smile, sings, acts, dances and plays the xylophone each evening for our 'Sunset by the Mississippi' program. She promised the Lord that she would do what is ever ask of her, she is a true pioneer woman, she is being very blessed. It was fun working with her in the Post Office, we told how the mail worked, people would write a message horizontal and then turn the page and write on it vertical. It would safe paper because the cost of mailing a page was 5 cents. Which was a lot in those days. They even folded the letter to make an envelope to safe money.
