Hard Times


In preparing for a scout camp this week I have been looking up stories from the Willie and Martin handcart companies. It is very humbling. If you ever feel like you have it bad, check out this website that has a few short stories about how the pioneers had it. Having children of my own makes some of the stories that much more heart wrenching. Suddenly, life doesn't seem so bad.
