Week #6 January 15 - 21, 2017

Sunday was different.  Church was cancelled due to an impending ice storm.  It was a day to relax and read and study.  I started with a cold on Saturday, so was not up to par for the week and remained home.  Elder & Sister Bartschi had invited us to dinner with other missionaries, so Dad went.  He said it was a great time with Navajo tacos and good company.

The tree outside the office/laundry room continues to provide pleasant diversions with the critters who come to eat the berries.  I am so happy we moved the desk in there .  Last week the squirrels were entertainment and this week, birds came, and another squirrel.
 Pretty little yellow bird.  He was a bit curious when I started taking pictures.
This little guy was pretty fun to watch as he was all about eating the berries.  That bobbing tree limb was a bit of a bounce house for him.  He just didn't want to miss any of the berries.

Could he be the same squirrel from last week?




Dad worked the weekly shifts and I spent time scrapbooking, reading, watching movies, resting a lot, and working through my cold.  By Friday I was feeling much better and made my way back to the temple on Saturday.  We followed up with going out to eat with the Adams' Saturday night.  We went  El Camino Real in Hamilton and enjoyed good Mexican food.

Elder & Sister Fetzer from Utah, are our downstairs neighbors.  They are temple ordinance workers as well.  I was reading in Temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and came across an impressive story about a Percy Fetzer.  I wondered if Elder Fetzer was related to Percy?  The next time I saw him I asked the question and sure enough he is related; Percy is his father!  We talked about this father and about the story.  I commented to Elder Fetzer that he was famous.  He who-fawwed me and said:  "I'm not famous!"   I asked when and where his family came from to America.  He told me about his father and then said his mother's line, the Wooley's, came from England.  I asked if that was Wooley as in Spencer Wooley Kimball?  He said it was and then I told him Spencer W. Kimball was Bob's great uncle.  Elder Fetzer smiled and said his mother was a cousin to Spencer.  Elder Fetzer is Grandma Brown's second cousin and Bob is his children's third cousin.  I concluded that  Elder Fetzer is not only famous, he is related to us!
