Winter Quarters

I took these pictures a couple months ago, and I had planned on putting them on our blog to show, but forgot until now. We went to just check it out, the Mormon Trail Center is there as well.

Winter Quarters, Nebraska LDS Temple behind Winter Quarters Cemetary

In the cemetary there is a large plaque laid in the ground with all those who died in Winter Quarters, we thought how sad it was to see the youngest of them all, died at 1 day old.

This is in front of the Trail Center.

I am so greatful for the sacrifices that the early saints of The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints made. They suffered so much, yet had so much faith. They are forever an example to me.

We have gone to the church historic sites and Nauvoo a couple times and it always makes me feel so grateful. We really do have it easy, even though our times are described as easier than those of the pioneers. So... fun blog! I can't believe you have two kids. How far apart are they? Kristy and Cody are great! They live in Flagstaff now and have 4 little girls. Cody loves his job but they both would much rather live in Utah.

that should have said "even though our times are described as harder (not easier).

Love the pics! I too am so thankful for the early saints! It will be an exciting reunion when we all get to meet them face to face one day!
