We went to 17 Miracles this past weekend. Have you seen it yet? It's a movie about the Willey Handcart Company. It was awesome, and really helped me realize the impact the pioneers have had on us today and that we can never forget them and the sacrifices they made. Ya, pretty sure I wouldn't have made it too far as a pionner. Thanks for sharing your experience. Glad you survived!!Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00965337520422597324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703176197341682112.post-60444343821135454172011-08-22T18:04:36.539-06:002011-08-22T18:04:36.539-06:00All I can say is Wow Amy.

But just the fact that it was awesome and not horrible means that you are an incredible woman of God and you could have made it and you are faithful. Thanks for sharing. And again. So glad we have a blog to keep in touch. PS Your cousin Kristen is one of our best friends in our neighborhood.

Have you seen 17 Miracle...What a great experience. Have you seen 17 Miracles? We dont' have it out here, but my parents loved it. It was especially moving for my mom knowing our ancestor, Mary Hadock Luke, was apart of it. I don't know if you're aware of this or not, but those boys that carried everyone across the river? They did not die from it. Many think they did because Brigham Young made a comment about how that single act would guarantee them to the celestial kingdom (or something to that effect)- but all three boys lived a long time after that event.

What special experiences you got to have!! <br /><br />I remember our trek as a youth and how hard it was and when it came time to go home I just did not want to leave. All the spiritual experiences that I had and being removed from the world really was amazing. (but even knowing that I would not readily volunteer to go on another one...interesting how that works)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing! I loved reading about it!!*LaUrA*https://www.blogger.com/profile/11418991115122417259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703176197341682112.post-48564517146408883082011-08-16T22:50:09.581-06:002011-08-16T22:50:09.581-06:00Wow, Amy.

I hope they get a Ma & Pa as great as you and Shane. Your Mom told my mom that you were so prepared and took such good care of your Trek kids. No blisters, sunburns... that alone is amazing!
