In honor of Pioneer Day, on July 24, we gathered together to watch the movie "17 Miracles" on Netflix.com.
(lol- what better way to celebrate PIONEER DAY than watching a movie on modern technology?) After months and months of doing family searching, it was a nice break to make connection on a personal and emotional level through entertainment. They took REAL pioneer stories and made a touching movie.
"It will all be worth it if my posterity will KEEP THE FAITH!"
One young women shared the stories from the movie with her family, where she then learned that she is actually from a long line of great pioneers who helped rescue handcart parties and helped translated the Book of Mormon to Spanish!
Although I don't have any of these great pioneers in my family tree I have a DEEP appreciation for the LOVE of the gospel they had and the sacrifices they made.
Do you have any Pioneers in YOUR family? Whats your Favorite pioneer story- Leave a comment and share!!!
