THINGS I LOVE AND PEOPLE TOO

Taught to pray, taught to pray, taught to pray! Notice the silver balls on the ends of the horns. Elder Dahl makes them and some beautiful bridles as well.4_DSCN0147
I just love the animals here. Horses, cows, oxen, geese, squirrels, rabbits, I love them all.

There should be some sort of transition here but I am at a loss, so on from animals to my favorite people.

These are the McKnights. Some of my absolute favorite people.  He has been in the mission presidency.  They are from Utah and are going home this week.  I am soooooooo sad. They are genuinely wonderful and we have done several things with them.  She is the one who is responsible for all of your necklaces and scarves!

He has been the editor to my Agatha, He has made it so easy to have fun doing the part.  We always give each other “knuckles,” before we go on for good luck!  I will miss him.

Sister Pilling, she is from Canada and is also going home this week.  She has been helping to make Nauvoo beautiful.  She has worked this whole hot summer in the gardens.

I love her husband as well. He is a gentle giant of a man.  He is shy and so when he has something to say, he will usually quote a poem he has written. We are going to post a video of him reciting one of his poems on the carriage ride. He is really a true cowboy.  When he sees me on the wagon ride he always takes off his hat and puts it over his heart.  I am very honored.

The Nelsons, they will leave in December.  She is a trooper I tell you. I guess she caught West Nile Virus and has a very difficult time walking, Yet she does everything with a very cheerful attitude.

These are the hilarious Allens.  They have just come out and I love them.  You can just tell by looking at them that they are a little naughty!  They have been married since they were 17 years old.  He reminds me of Brad Cates and so much fun to be around.  She is actually a costume designer and has been working for the International Folk Dancers at BYU all of these years.  He has done theater before.  They are not however in my cast and so I won’t see them as much as I would like to.

These four women are some of the Nauvoo caretakers. Sister Fowers, Anderson, Moses and Pilling. The first three are in my new cast, they are wonderful and I am anxious to get to know them more.

All of us that are left at Zone Conference with Elder Chouy from the Seventy. They dressed in pioneer outfits to “fit” in.

Sister Sanders, she was with us at the MTC. She is a hoot.  She used to be a Sweet Adeline, and we are now in the same cast.

These are the Harmers from Mapleton, Utah.  You can just tell that they are naughty!!!! So much fun to be with.  They literally make me laugh out loud. He is in construction and they have begged them to extend. I think that I will have to have a part II on people I love.
