Eagle Days in Narnia

Finally I really have nothing new to write about.  This is the first time in the last 4 1/2 months.  I went to the same sites I've already been at, very few visitors.  It is so cold that even the eagles didn't come like they were suppose to for Eagle Days in Keokuk.  We did see a few perched in trees around the river near Keokuk.

Eagles and crows roosting near the river. 

There were a few highlights this week.
Sister Dare brought tatting to the site on Wednesday.  My grandmother tatted, so I was interested in how she did it. Not something I care to learn, but it is beautiful.

President Lusvardi taught us about inviting and promising in mission training.  Elder Barrow volunteered to show how he would invite and promise in the Brigham Young home. He stood up in front a screen depicting the council room in the Brigham Young home. Pretty brave for someone who had only done one tour there.  His efforts were greeted with tremendous applause.
After mission training we were asked to meet with President Thatcher, one of the president's counselors.  He asked us with the Davies to head up the Relief Society re-enactment in March.

On Friday Sister Grigsby and I made up a game in the John Taylor house.  We each studied the artifacts in a room and then we had to tell the other what we remembered.  It really helped us see some things we had not paid attention to.

Saturday we cleaned the Stake Center with our district and one other district.  Then I went to the Family Search Center and Sister Sweat helped me with some resource questions.  It was too cold and icy to be outside, so we stayed home most of the day and read.

Our bird feeder is very popular. 

Frozen Mississippi

Next week is suppose to be even colder. Our apartment is very cozy.  I can't imagine what life would be like in a log cabin with weather like this.
