Martin's Cove Site

The trip to the Willie's Handcart site was just great.  We learned of the suffering that went on as our pioneers went their way slowly and painfully towards Salt Lake.  It is not about places and stops, it is about the atonement, the care and support which Brigham Young and the people of the valley sent to those stranded on the high plains of Wyoming.
The journals indicate no malice or hate towards the leaders, only their testimony of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ.  All of us here go through a daily emotional experience as we learn more and share those experiences with the visitors who want to hear.
I have not figured out how to edit a previous blog so I must tell all of you that we did not get here on the 23rd of March, but on the 23rd of April.  I am learning very slowly how to maneuver around this blog situation.
Today is our P-Day (preparation) and we are off to Casper and a breakfast appointment with our district leaders.  At the same time we will do our shopping for the week.
Bernice needs some music which has violin parts and we need to see if we can download that or have to buy the whole book.  This is needed for our Stake Conference in Casper next month; or June.
It is a beautiful day today and my 80/40 mtr antenna has been relocated for a better shot into the Flathead Valley.  Just have not had time to set up the rig and check out the coverage.
We love you all and send greetings from Martin's cove.
Elder and Sister Gloschat (Fred and Bernice)
