What shoes will you wear?

Wearing the wrong shoes on trek could cause you a lot of grief – in the form of foot pain and blisters. Your toes need room to expand, because your feet will swell a full shoe size as you walk on the trek. So it is important to bring comfortable trekking shoes.

Christmas for Early Pioneers – Ensign – 2011-pg 71

Harsh winter months made for difficult times for most pioneers, and resources for Christmas presents and celebrations were often scarce. Yet that didn’t deter the early pioneers from creating special memories during the holiday season. 

My, How Time Flies

“One night when I was sixteen years old, Father gave a Christmas party for his own children and their families and the nearest neighbors.  We danced.  My brothers were the musicians.  We knew it was Fathers; aim to end the party at ten o’clock, which he did right in the middle of a square-dance by ordering the musicians to stop.  But Father didn’t know that my brothers had lifted me up to the clock many times that night.  Each time I turned it back thirty minutes.  It must have been past midnight when the party broke up.”  From Christian Olsen Family Records, in Carter, Our Pioneer Heritage

Brother Dennis Johns' - Great great grandfather

James Bosworth, age 17, was born in Borrowash, Berryshire, England, on April 28, 1844.  He was the son of Jon and Sarah Bunting Bosworth.  In 1851, he moved with his parents to Nollingham, and in 1852 was baptized in the Latter Day Saints Church.  He left for America in March 1857 on the ship George Washington.  In the spring of 1861, with his parents he started across the plains for Salt Lake City with an Independent Wagon Train, David Cannon was their Captain.  James drove cattle for Truman Egley from Florence to Salt Lake City.  In 1864 he made a trip with Stringham’s Freight Wagon Train, taking twenty missionaries who were on their way to preach the Gospel in Foreign Lands, they had trouble crossing the Platte River and was held up for three days in water and quicksand, they had trouble with the Indians.  On his way back from his trip he was staffed at Fort Carney by the government to fight Indians, and held on guard to do picket work.  James Bosworth made three trips to Missouri to guide different companies of Mormons to Utah.
