Barn Quilts
This is my one of my favorite parts about the day in Kalona. The Barn Quilts! And just so you know, I did not put every picture here, just some of my favorites. A committee decides the style and colors, and it is a community effort to save historic barns, and show off quilting. I love it.

More Kalona
We had lunch at a Family Restaurant. The Whitesides are from Rupert, are dairy farmers, and he serves as a teamster here in Nauvoo. 
This is for Jamie and Nathan's family. There was a John Deere store with lots of equipment.
On the way across the Mississippi River, we had to stop for a barge. The bridge swings out sideways to let the barge through.

Amish Country
June 7, Monday
We decided to find someone to go with us on a day trip. We went to the schedules on-line and found the names of some couples with Monday as a p-day. Last night we asked the Whitesides if they wanted to go with us somewhere. After they said yes, we decided to go to Kalona, Iowa. It took nearly two hours to get there, but it was a nice ride. Kalona is largely an Amish and Mennonite community. We enjoyed the little town, shopped at a couple of country stores and bakery, explored the cheese factory and quilt shop. We were impressed with the hard-working farmers,
the picturesque buggies and horses,
the cute children,
and the immaculate gardens. Do you think Monday is wash day? There were clothes hanging on every line.

June Is Busting Out All Over
June 1, Tuesday
We worked a morning shift at Pioneer Pastimes, and it wasn't too hot and not too many people.
It is a lot of work to get everything out and ready, cleaned, and swept. At the end of the day, it all needs put away, so it is nice to have the day split into two shifts, unlike last year, we hear.
I was able to go listen to Anna Amanda in preparation for tomorrow, and learned that I also get to play five little songs for the puppet show before the play. I spent the rest of the afternoon getting the music organized and ready, and practicing.
June 2, Wednesday
Greg walked with me this morning. I usually walk with S/Meyers and S/Blackinton on Tues, Thurs, and Fri. The other day we walked right under an eagle, and also found a turtle near the edge of a road.
I played the piano for the two showings of "Just Plain Anna-Amanda", and did OK, but hope I can do better at coming in exactly on the right cues. So...that is my Wednesday job.
June 3, Thursday,
Dave and Pat Johnson came by with our boxes from home. It almost felt like Christmas! And it was fun to see someone from Basalt. They came to "Sunset" and seemed to really enjoy the show.
I served at the Log School with S/Saville, who is a very cheery and talkative person, and loaned us a booklet of stories about Porter Rockwell to read. After Sunset, we were headed to our car and heard our name yelled. Elder Saville invited us to go with them to Hamilton for hot fudge shakes. If we just go through the drive-thru, we can stay in our show clothes. We went and laughed a lot, with them and at them. He schedules all the missionaries, and they have lots of stories to tell. They are from Pocatello. On the way home we went on a "critter run", winding around the streets looking for racoon, fox, or anything else. It was hilarious.

**Sister Andrus: "How do you like someone thinking of you every time she puts on her underwear (pantaloons)"?
**Breakfast buffet with the Johnson's at Grandpa John's cafe.
**S/Saville loved the coconut M&M's I shared, thinks chocolate is a must, found A Lantern in Her Hand on-line, and couldn't find the coconut crisp cookies for sale anywhere.
**S/Hansen and I have similar "life stories" and she quilts well. She loves Dawn's DVD, The Pajama Quilter, and couldn't believe I was her sister.
**I saw a whole bunch of fireflies at an ice cream social, WOW.
**The mission has: 2,338 grandchildren and 407 great-grandchildren.
**"Going on a mission beats sitting at home waiting for your birth certificate to expire"
Greg is getting to be a pretty good potter.

Sunset Finale
Greg is great at singing in "Grandma's Feather Bed", as well as all the other songs, and he also does some announcing, and plays his harmonica for a couple of numbers. 
The Young Performing Stage Missionaries bring lots of energy to the shows. There are about 10 each young women and young men, who auditioned for this and were chosen out of about 400 applicants. They are GOOD. There are also about 18 Young Performing Band Missionaries who are just as good at playing all those instruments. It sounds wonderful when they play.
And now we say good-bye, until next time by the Mississippi.

Sunset By the Mississippi
Twice a week, our cast, Z cast, performs the production of Sunset By the Mississippi. There is a pre-show activity, helping children color hats, and march in a parade while the band plays.
There are about 65 in our cast. Every missionary is assigned to one of three casts. And we all sing and dance on the outdoor stage!
My job is to play the piano, but I also play the penny whistle in the Sunshine Band, and the Breathless Jug and Bottle Band. The drummer, young Elder Kimball, sits next to me, and the band members sit behind when they are not playing.
I also play the piano for the melodrama, as the audience boo and hiss.

Memorial Day
From the Old Nauvoo Pioneer Cemetery, on the outskirts of Nauvoo. We often mention people who are buried here from Nauvoo stories we learn and tell.
Finishing May
May 30, Sunday
I was so exhausted from yesterday that as soon as church was over, I actually had a real nap. I almost felt recovered after that. We made Jamie's present (cookies from her mix) in honor of Memorial Day weekend. I am really proud of the way my kids are doing so well without us, getting together this weekend. Adrienne invited everyone for a barbeque on Monday, and Kallie, Ryan, Avery, Max, and Truman came for the weekend. Adrienne said it was the first time she has really had house guests. They all got together and took pictures for me. I loved it.
Elder Anderson and I served at the Log School, where he obtained three more referrals. What a preacher. The young sisters told me I married a good guy, I think they are right!
The living room of Calvin Pendleton's home and school:
And my favorite quilt from upstairs in the sleeping area.
We also attended the Hughes Brothers Devotional this evening.
May 31, Monday,
Sister Camp finally brought me the music for Anna Amanda, so I practiced and then went to the 11:00 performance so I could see how to do it. Lots of details are not in the music, like extra measures thrown in or taken out to accommodate the speaking parts, songs for the puppet show before the play, which no one told me about, etc.
About noon, we headed for Keokuk, did some errands, and ate at the China Buffet.
Jamie called. They had gone to see the "dead" grandparents (graves) so Travis was a little traumatized and wanted to see his "live" grandparents. He doesn't quite get it yet, but then neither do the other boys.
We went to see the old Nauvoo burial grounds at the end of Parley Street out of town. They weren't decorated much, but it was nice to see.
We did go to Prep meeting this morning for a special Zone training. Pres. Ludwig taught the whole mission in 40 minutes what he taught us for six hours. In a nutshell!

Training and Results
May 27, Thursday
It was an "MTC Experience" training day. President Ludwig said that Salt Lake wanted the fifteen service missionaries to have a little MTC training, so he was the teacher for 6 hours. He has a good teaching manner and is excellent at acknowledging comments, and leading discussions. We read from Preach My Gospel, scriptures, and used the Site Script Book. After a lunch break, we did some role-playing, and also made phone calls in the call center. They love Greg--he is a natural preacher, and good on the phones. The young single Sisters were helping us, and they said, "The Andersons GET it". Are they sure, or just very encouraging?
We learned how to use Preach My Gospel ideas in the historical sites, so it was a very effective training for us.
"An effective missionary teaches, testifies, and invites others to do things that build faith in Jesus Christ." (PMG, p. 198) I did fine on the first two, but it was the "invites" part that I didn't seem to get into my presentations. Maybe now I can.
This is a picture of President Hill, who is a counselor in the mission presidency along with Pres. Jones. I will have to get a picture of President Ludwig.
May 28, Friday,
As I served in the Cultural Hall today, a couple came in just a bit before my shift ended at noon, so I took them upstairs. They asked questions, as non-members, and accepted a referral card, wanted a DVD, and gave their names and phone number. I was excited, and just then, Sister Ludwig came out, so I told her about my card and to tell President Ludwig that his training was effective. She must have done so right away, interrupting his training for some other couples, (as I found out later), because within a few minutes, I went to the visitor's center and the mail room and two couples and three young sisters already knew about it.
Tonight, Sister Andrus came over for a fitting for the pantaloons I am sewing for her.
May 29, Saturday,
What a full day! We both didn't start our shift until noon, so the in the morning I finished S. Andrus' pantaloons, then we both took a tour in the Log School, since we get to serve there tomorrow, and have never seen a tour. We fixed a sandwich to grab before Sunset tonight. I served in the Post Office today for the first time. I love serving in new places all the time. I was able to obtain two more non-member referrals. And almost one more! Also there was a couple from Brazil, whose daughter and son-in-law were translators. That was charming.
This is called Nauvoo's running water, as young people would run with buckets of water to give drinks to the men working on the temple or in the fields. This the dry goods store inside the Post Office building.
Here is S. Torrie, who is from Canada, in front of the mail sorting box.
When our shift ended at 6:00, we both rushed home, grabbed our supplies and music, and rushed to do our first official show of Sunset By the Mississippi. Over-all it went smoothly and was just over one hour long. The first song I played was fine, but on the second, Mississippi Mud, I got nervous and was shaky for a half page. So a little messed up, but mostly did OK. On one of the last numbers for which a YPM was playing, the whole music stand and music fell off the keyboard! Good thing he didn't need the music, and good thing it wasn't me playing!
**The funniest thing during Sunset, but maybe you had to be there. During the "Audition" act, they YPM's were doing a Shakespeare spoof, and just as he said "The bells toll", and raised his arm dramatically toward the sky, the Catholic church bells started ringing. It couldn't have been timed any better! The audience roared......
**Other news, Sister Camp came up to me and asked if I would play for Anna Amanda every Wednesday. I won't sleep tonight. Actually, no one really asks, they just tell you what you are going to do. In a nice way, of course.
After Sunset, the Hughes Brothers from Branson were here to perform for Memorial Day weekend. Good performers, and great harmony.

Sarah Granger Kimball Home
Wednesday, May 26,
I served in the Sarah Granger Kimball Home today for the first time, and since it is down a long road, a little out of the way, it is a quiet place. I only gave one tour to one person, but I thoroughly enjoyed the day. I had good companions: Sister Mueller and Sister Walker. Sister Mueller had me french-braid her hair, so she could be ready for the evening program....
This bible was given to Sarah by her husband. She is the one who started the group who sewed shirts for Nauvoo temple workers, which turned into Relief Society.
And this is my favorite quilt from this home, upstairs in the bedroom.
The gardens at the home are beautiful.
The keyboard was delivered to my home today, so I was able to practice, and then at Sunset practice tonight I did somewhat better. They were going to have a YPM play the Nauvoo Hoedown so there would be a steady beat for the cloggers, but he wasn't ready, so I was told to do it. After I played it, they said that I did it just perfectly, and that I could always do it for our cast. Yeah!

Pioneer Pastimes
May 25, Tuesday
Greg and I worked for the first time in Pioneer Pastimes. But we hear it is not the last time. We will be scheduled to work here twice a week for the summer. The benefit is that it is a four-hour shift instead of six, so we will have a little more free time, or at least time to eat before our evening activities.
Greg and Elder Myers are seeing who can be Joseph Smith, and win the stick pull.
Then we are having a race to see who can get the Nauvoo bear to the top first.
Greg is pretty good at the hoop rolling. The temperature was warm to say the least, 97 degrees with 51 % humidity. We found out later that is was probably hot enough to close down the site, but the papers on the subject hadn't been updated. We had over 100 kids from schools here at one time, and they stayed longer than usual. I think the teachers just wanted to sit in the shade. The kids had a great time dressing up in pioneer clothes and playing all the games.
When I got home, I took another shower! But, I am a brave pioneer.
The Nauvoo Brass Band comes by each day to play. We are getting to know some of these kids from our Sunset performances, especially the drummer, Elder Kimball, who sits next to the piano.
We also had a one-hour shift at the visitor's center before we listened to Susan Easton Black talk about a "Prepared Family", and then I had a melodrama practice. Always something to keep us busy.

Birds, and more birds.
May 23, Sunday
**Another thought from Elder Jeppeson: "In sporting events, people rush to get to the front row seats, but at church, they want the back row. Why is that?"
We talked to Adrienne last night. She had gone to our house to pack up a few more things we wanted to have sent with the Johnsons. She had a hard time finding a couple of things, and had the kids on a treasure hunt. At least her badly sprained ankle is doing better. Rhya couldn't find us and wondered why we were not there.
This is a view of our back yard, and some of the geese that were looking for food. The baby geese are growing fast!
May 24, Monday
Before we went too far on our Prep Day, we went to the temple. It was a lovely way to start the day, and Greg met a worker who talked about going to Argentina on his mission also. These baby robins are happy when the momma brings them worms. We watched them.
Greg was able to get a picture of a cardinal. They are very allusive, and so pretty.
After we did some cleaning and laundry, we headed out for Quincy. It seems to be about the size of Idaho Falls. We shopped at Sam's Club, another grocery store, and ate lunch at Steak and Shake, kind of a Red Robin-type place. So, this last one isn't a bird, but I ate a chicken sandwich. Doesn't that count?
**Road kill on the way to Quincy: turtle, raccoon, possum, squirrel. I must say, there is lots of wildlife around.
On Rendezvous tonight, we each went on in another vignette, Greg in "Willingly", the men's song, and me in the Relief Society scene.
