Our Trip to Fort Leonard Wood Jeremey graduation and our visit to Historic Nauvoo and Mount Rushmore

This is my great great great great grand mother that was in Nauvoo that made this trip what it was. This is Martha Bartholomew Vail she left Nauvoo 1846 and she came to Council Bluffs in 1848 stayed there and then 1851 came west . We found here records in Nauvoo and in Council Bluffs and in SLC What a neat story she has to tell. We are so lucky to have her as our great grand mother and the legacy she left for us.

We are home after a incredible journey. We were able to visit Jeremey at his graduation in St. Roberts Missouri at Fort Leonard Wood then we went to Historic Nauvoo Illinois and was able to attend a session at the Nauvoo Temple was able to go to Carthage Jail and then up to Mount Rushmore in South Dakota then to Martin Cove in Wyoming what a trip, what a great time.

Farewell Bentley!

Bentley's farewell was so beautiful -- he did a fantastic job, and is now officially a missionary! He had a wonderful turnout, and it was a great tribute to him and his parents -- thanks for the inspiration, Elder!

Abbie Day

We spent Saturday morning with Katie, Abbie and Annie -- it was so much fun!
We played at the playground, fed the ducks and skipped rocks in the creek, we had a wonderful time!

It's so fun to spend time with our family!

My Missionary Commission
I am called of God. My authority is above that of kings of the earth. By revelation I have been selected as a personal representative of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is my master and He has chosen me to represent Him--to stand in His place, to say and do what He Himself would say and do if He personally were ministering to the very people to whom He has sent me. My voice is His voice, and my acts are His acts; my doctrine is His doctrine. My Commission is to do what He wants done; To say what He wants said; to be a living modern witness in word and in deed of the divinity of his great and marvelous Latter-day work. How great is my calling!
