Update!

 
We are so thankful to Sister Jolene Allphin for her wonderful fireside.
  We could feel the spirit of the people she talked about and we share our love for them and their sacrifices.

We are getting ready for the Trek. 
 At the fireside we showed you;
 clothes to wear,
 the bucket that needs to be made,
 what a journal could look like,
 posters reminding us to get a name to travel for,
and purchase some good shoes!
OH, and better get exercising...

NOW:
It was 102 days until the Trek on the Sunday we had Sister Allphine.  It is now 94 days until we leave.
We are all preparing in our Ward's with activities  getting  us ready.

THEN:  
Willie loses many oxen overnight during a severe storm. 
 They have experienced a buffalo stampede during the day, which had further encouraged the cattle to leave.
They spend several days looking for the lost cattle with no success.
100 lb bags of flour and other provisions are loaded onto handcarts as milk cows and heifers are hitched to the provision wagons. 

Thanks Everyone for the views and keep spreading the word to others to GET PREPARED!! We are getting so so very close! Isnt it so exciting?? We love you all! Have a wonderful rest of March!
