Back in the Sites

Heading to the barn...so good to go home after a long day.

Bringing them in.

S/Whiting & S/Davies feeding the calves.

Beautiful river

This week I was able to work more in the sites, such as the Cultural Hall here with Sister Draney and Sister Wadsworth, both from Idaho.                    

Honey Do projects even on a mission.  Fixing a broken chair.  Thanks Honey 😍

Stairs at the Bakery
I started playing a game with the grand-daughters.  I would take pictures like these of where I was serving for the day and have them guess where I was.  They were pretty good at figuring it out.

Wagon driving week

Monday driving the wagon with Elder and these two fine young sister missionaries.

Sister Cabuquing and Sister Jefferies
from the Philippines and Texas

Farewell to the YPMs.








On Thursday after working in the sites we went over to Montrose to their Watermelon Festival.  Here we are eating our first ever yellow watermelon with the Stokes. 











On Friday driving the wagon again with Sister Baldwin from Colorado and Sister Daugherty from Alaska.  It is wonderful to get to work with these great missionaries.  We also had them over to share our Sunday dinner with us. 




On our way back to the barn we stopped for a little photo shoot.  
So love the temple.





There is lots of renovation going on around Nauvoo.  These will be called the temple district when they are completed.

It is the slow season.  Feb. 26, the wind blew, so working on the wagon was brisk.  I am bundled up with two coats, hat, scarf and more. ...
