President Baird, myself, and my companion. We are now known as Elder and Sister Nemeck. And yes, we call each other Elder and Sister in public (in private never mind what we call each other, it's all good)
The pioneers in 1846 packed their handcarts with their worldly possessions and on their way they had to lighten their load by dropping things off as they moved Westward. Now we on the other hand packed our handcart (Dodge Caravan) with our worldly possessions and will be dropping off some of our supplies (dogs, dog beds, dog food, etc) in Utah with our daughter Margo who is so willing to take care of Barney and Sadee for 6 months...(Thank you Margo and family a great blessing will be coming your way) we will then be Eastward bound after spending a week with Margo and family, and getting some training from the Missionary Training Center in Provo (9 days) The Saints (Pioneers) were looking to the future...We are lucky enough to go back in time 1840s and share what we have learned from the experiences they had in Nauvoo. And so our Journey Begins!
Each picture show how we have started our 'trek' to Nauvoo... Coeur d' Alene, Idaho to Interstate 90 East through Missoula. See our sign almost time to make our turn off on Interstate 15 just before we get to Butte, Montana.
My cute companion of 47 years and a new missionary!
Pocatella Idaho, this will be our stop off for the night. That's where I'm at now!!
We are lucky to have a warm room, a warm bed, a salad and chicken nuggets (from BK of course) and Milk to drink...while the Pioneers had very little to eat and went to bed hungry,and slept on the cold ground with little if any covers to keep them warm.
Tomorrow morning we will continue onward to Utah...Time to get some sleep!
Night all...hope you enjoyed our first day of our journey. Pleasant dreams!
Yeah for modern technology.... It it like I will be on you mission with you... Love you... :O)
