Totality in Missouri

The zone of totality for the solar eclipse of 2017 just happened to be in our mission.  The morning had heavy rainfall then lots of clouds so we did not know if we would be able to see the eclipse.  Around noon the sun broke through and we got out our glasses.  We were going to see a total  eclipse!!  Here we are having a little lunch while we waited for darkness.

Once it was dark it felt like nighttime (for a couple of minutes).

It was fun to experience this rare event!
