Monmouth, IL

On our way from Clevland OH to Nauvoo we drove through Monmouth, IL. This was my first area on my mission. I was only there for 2 mounths but really loved the town. When I servied there the church was located in a small store frount in a strip mall. We were lucky if 30 people showed up for church each Sunday. I wounder if the tiny branch would last long. When the church was not were I remenbered it, I thought for sure they must have been absorbed by the ward in a larger town. Tyson pulled out the GPS and looked it up. As we followed the direction I thought it would take us to another store fround, I was so excited to see a building. I was full of joy to see that our tiny branch was doing well and ever growing.
