The first of our stops...Sixth Crossing!

Our first stop on our journey was to visit Sixth Crossing...
main reason...to see Nana and Fred of course!  They started a six month mission in April!

It was so nice to see them, and they were so good to show us around.  This is the old school house.

We walked around with the hand carts (glad I didn't have to walk back to Salt Lake using them!)





They took us on a tour, and shared many pioneer stories...stories of such great faith!
Our hearts were touched.



And to the thicket, where we were protected from the wind.


We look good in cowboy hats!


They fed us lunch and dinner and brownies and icecream!  They were all delicious!


We had a chance to meet some of their friends (other  missionaries), they were all so kind!
Their friends gave us a rock to remember the Pioneers and all of their faith, and a neat picture of the temple.
And Nana and Fred gave us some "brain rocks" that were the coolest rocks I had ever seen.
We are blessed by your faith and service!  We love and appreciate you both.

So fun to see them, and be inspired by the faith of the Mormon Pioneers:  People who were willing to give their lives for their Savior.  They are awe inspiring.
Thanks Nana and Fred for making our first stop so great!!
