Elder M. Russell Ballard said, “We all face rocky ridges, with the wind in our face and winter coming on too soon. Always, there is a Devil’s Gate, which will swing wide open to lure us in. Occasionally we reach the top of one summit in life, as the pioneers did, only to see more mountain peaks ahead, higher and more challenging than the one we have just traversed. We are all bound together 19 th and 20 th century pioneers and more in our great journey to follow the
Lord Jesus Christ and to allow His atoning sacrifice to work its miracle in our lives"

6) Reading this and seriously bawling through it some days..... makes me more appreciative of our martins cove experience coming up and for the hardships of our ancestors.....

That Gerald Lund book is one of my favorites. You need to read work and the glory, you would love it I think!

Tyler and Kristin Smith said...

i have a fabulous book of all the real stories of the pioneers in the Martin/Willie handcart companies if you want to borrow it. I read it before we went to Martin's Cove 5 years ago as ma's and pa's. It's life changing there. One of my best memories with Tyler. You will love it.

Oooh I love book recommendations!

You will LOVE San Diego, try fish tacos, they sound weird, but so yummy.

Check with your homeowners insurance about your diamond, a replacement MAY be covered under your policy. Good luck!

Hi Christal , I just wanted to let you know I sent you as message on Facebook but it probably went to your other box since we aren't friends on there. :) Hopefully you get it.

2. oh my gosh! So sorry! My worst nightmare......losing my wedding ring or else a diamond from it. Hence my reasons for always wearing a fake wedding set. lol. No seriously. It's fake. ...people think it's real. I enjoy the non stress of losing them. ;)
