Last week before we arrived so much rain fell that the pre-show site was flooded, creating a swamp just like what the saints found when they arrived in Nauvoo in 1939. Just like the pioneers, a drainage system was dug to drain off the water, this time using heavy machines instead of by hand as the pioneers did. This morning the young men were recruited to lay sod covering the trenches and pipes so the pre-show activities can begin next week without mud issues.
