June 23, 2015 - Tuesday in Carthage

Mom and I had a marvelous day here in Carthage as the weather continues to be moderate.  We had cool breezes this morning and very low humidity on our walk.  Three of the single sisters joined mom and I on our walk around Carthage.  It was invigorating to begin the day this way, after our early morning devotional and prayer.  This is how the sky looked as we began our walk!

Mom had a very special group that she took through the jail tour this morning.  They are part of the Riverton, Wyoming Stake and both the husband and wife and the mother assisted with the "rescue" of the Willey and Martin handcart pioneers of the fateful trek of 1856.  

Under the stake president, President Lorimar, they all worked together to identify each pioneer in those handcart companies and then assisted in doing their temple work.  They were also a part of the effort to bring the Martin's Cove area under the direction of the Church.  

Of course this family's picture made the blog! - This is the Zent Family.  The husband and wife were Mutual aged during the project and the mom was the Stake Young Women's President.  What a connection for us to meet some of the individuals that did so much to make my preparations back in 2007-2008 so complete, and added so much to Bob's experience in 2014!

Then mom and I went to the Rendezvous Play tonight, and we had both shows go very well.  "Pa" pulled off his part without a hitch and it seems to be getting better each night!  Jackson would be so proud!  Next time we go on stage, we will have Ali and Jared and Cody and Maddie and Landon and Mackenzie in the audience!!!!  Yea!!!
