Old Mormon Chapel

    This is the Old Mormon church  that Joey and I got married in....it was used by the Mormon church for years and was just down the street from our house at 1618 Wabash Ave.  Later on the church built a new chapel and the old church  place was sold to the Baptist church.
    I remember that the missionaries would come by the house and invite Bump and I to go to church because our parents didn't attend , well my dad did go on occasion but my mother never did attend during my childhood.   I just think my mom didn't feel good about herself because she was doing things that she was not proud of.  Most times Bump and I would attend together.  Enjoyed going to  MIA during the week. It was a fun night for the youth and some of the girls and I had crushes on the missionaries so that was a big enough reason to attend for sure. :)  I loved Bro. Rodgers also who was over the program and he was so good to all of us kids. That program and Bro. Rogers was a life blessing for both me and Bump!  I loved that man!
 Here is picture of the Old Church. Its still there today.  Missionaries had apt. in the back lot and I would often go there on Saturdays and help them clean it / as said today that would never be allowed. ha.  Those were fun days.  I remember even going to the movies with them/ sure Bump was with me cause we did everything together back then.   I would do anything to be near those cute guys. :)   Even felt like i wanted to marry one of them.  Funny how we think when so young! 
Today they have a whole new agenda ... none of that could be today......they keep these guys super busy now days .....things have changed alot since that time when  I was so young.... now days they have no time to goof off! :)
