Pioneer Day

On July 24, 1847 Brigham Young struck his cane to the ground near where the Salt Lake Temple now stands and declared "Brethren, here we shall build a temple to our God." I can't tell you how many times I said that on my mission, probably a million! This year we celebrated with our ward doing traditional pioneer games and eating yummy food. My kids were in shock when they realized that these were the things pioneer kids did to have fun.
