A Preparation day for the Savilles, Rebers and the Williams. We were off to see the famous Hannibal, Mo. town. We have been there before visiting Mark Twain and Tom Sawyer areas but this time we toured an old mansion, that was built in the early 1900, "The Rockcliff Mansion". 30 marvelous rooms, just as they were over 100 years ago. He was a lumber king plus many more identities. They are trying to sell the mansion, we thought if we could all chip in we might could buy a couple of rooms. Elder Saville, Reber and Williams worked together in the mission office, Reber was 2nd councilor, with E/Williams and E/Saville is the scheduler, which makes this whole mission keep on our schedule.
We stopped at "Lover's Leap". A famous spot over looking the Mississippi River. The story goes that a young Indian couple plunged to their death at this spot when her father the chief would not allow them to get married. Their love was so strong that instead of living their lives separately they were willing to die together. We finished the day by going to our favorite eating place in Hannibal, "Lula Bell's". An old 'brothel' that has been turned into a restaurant and theme rooms on the second floor. It is decorated as such, and really has great food.
