Our ward used to have Pioneer Day picnics but that has kind of died out. I come from great pioneer stock and so appreciate the gospel in my life because of their sacrifices.kitchenditcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967328179988538767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061434319310525569.post-9966293973129772262008-07-25T13:03:00.000-06:002008-07-25T13:03:00.000-06:00Really puts life into perspective!

His 5th great -grandafther joined the church in Davies County , Missouri, his 4th great grandfather was born under a wagon in Nauvoo and they traveled across the plains stopping in Winter's Quarters for a time to repair the wheels and wagons that had come through on their way to Salt Lake. They were postponed in their journey for several years, but finally made it tot he Salt Lake Valley losing none of the family, 9 children, who accompanied them. it's amazing what they accomplished. They must roll their eyes when we travel the same distance in hours rather than months.tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089105047115114848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061434319310525569.post-72624243130385871982008-07-24T22:06:00.000-06:002008-07-24T22:06:00.000-06:00I guess not living in Utah Pioneer day slips my mi...I guess not living in Utah Pioneer day slips my mind.

A couple of entrees had people in Pioneer garb, but not many. <BR/><BR/>There was one man who was pulling his small children in a handcart and that really made me think. I was of course reminded of the Willie and Martin companies. So much heartbreak and sacrifice. It's inspiring.<BR/><BR/>So thanks for this. I have no personal Utah pioneer heritage, and I think it's so neat that you do. And that poem from your grandfather is amazing. What an incredible legacy for your family. <BR/>The faith of our fathers blesses countless generations.Wonder Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01286006629537084653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061434319310525569.post-60239678841788123632008-07-24T16:22:00.000-06:002008-07-24T16:22:00.000-06:00I think this is a great way to celebrate pioneer d...I think this is a great way to celebrate pioneer day - thanks for sharing your great great (can't remember how many greats) grandpa's journal and poem - I really really love this.Janellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12896034734129842054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061434319310525569.post-56096382378320208432008-07-24T14:19:00.000-06:002008-07-24T14:19:00.000-06:00I never experienced Pioneer day.

I am so overcome with that poem and your feelings of where you live and all of it. I am going to ponder more today about the pioneers. Thanks for this loving reminder of what sacrifices came before us. I am so grateful for all those that did. I have no idea the struggles. <BR/><BR/>Come come ye Saints.
