Our mission call to the Wyoming Mormon Trail Mission was dated February 13, 2018. We got a call from our mission president, President Lonny Pace on Saturday February 10th stating that we were headed to Martin's Cove as our assignment in the mission. This is the mission we had hoped for and one that would help us better understand the experiences of the ill-fated handcart comping of Edward Martin and James G. Willie.
Both mom and I were part of our ward trek in 2008 where I served as the trek leader for about 110 youth and adults. I had no idea, as a convert to the church, what they went through or even who they were. It was such a sacred and special experience back in 2008, that we feel it such a blessing to be able to spend at least 6 months there this year. We report to the MTC on Monday April 16, 2018, and then report to Martin's Cove on Wednesday April 25th.
