Changing of the Guard (Mission President)

Pres. L& Sister Gilliland with us last Sunday
in their home 

Today was President and Sister Gilliland's last day with us in Nauvoo. They were going to pick up the new president, President Hunter (son of Howard W. Hunter) and his wife, have a brief meeting with the two counselors and then leave.

However, Pres. Gilliland received a call from the missionary department indicating that Pres. Hunter would not be coming for another possibly two weeks due to some back condition which has been improving.

The missionary department indicated that the Gillilands', who's belongings have already been shipped, should still leave. However, the missionary department appointed the mission first councilor to be our acting president until Pres. Hunter and his wife are able to join us.
