164. My great-grandparents, Haden Wells Church and Sarah Ann Arterberry, many missions, and pioneers to St. George.

Image
I wrote about my great-grandfather Haden Wells Church in blog # 23, last December 3, 2013. That was about the day the original pioneers arrived in St. George, Utah, and he was among their number.  In that blog there is a very brief history of his life.  In this entry, I will tell more details.  He was a great pioneer, and went on 5 missions, the last of which was in Tennessee, where he died of typhoid fever, and was buried next to his father, in his home town of Shady Grove, Tennessee. Haden was a member of the Mormon Battalion, and this story begins with their arrival back in the Salt Lake Valley on July 27 or 29th, right after the very first company arrived with Brigham Young, when he said "This is the place!"  The battalion members were listed as being mustered-out of the army on July 16th since their year's enlistment ended on that date.       Little is known of Sarah Ann and her baby, Hyrum , before they were reunited. But it is kn...

721. President Russell M. Nelson: 'Joy and Spiritual Survival', thoughts from his General Conference talk.

Image

Below are pictures of us younger.  You can probably tell which are which, Vina on the left, Mavis in the center, and me on the right in the top one.  I know we have a picture taken in the last few years with my white hair, and Vina's light also, but I couldn't find it quickly.  I'll take some this weekend! As we were growing up we sang trios in many places!   A couple of nights ago I had a call from a lady I ha...

614. The classic story "The Currant Bush" by Elder Hugh B. Brown, counselor to Pres. David O. McKay

Image
The Currant Bush by Elder Hugh B. Brown  (1883-1975) of the Council of the Twelve  Stories from General Authorities.  (From the New Era) Over the years our General Authorities have recounted stories that have touched the hearts of their listeners and changed behavior. Many of these stirring examples come from their own lives or from the lives of friends and acquaintances. All ring as true today as when first recounted.  This story of the Currant Bush is well known.  Elder Hugh B. Brown was a noted Apostle, and a counselor to President David O. McKay.  It is fascinating to put his name in "Google" and read about his interesting and amazing life.  This story can inspire you when you are having problems .   Elder Hugh B. Brown, soldier, lawyer, Mission President, and finally Apostle. ...
