Rainy Day On Mission

 

Visit the mission office for materials.

The green lines divide the nine stakes we serve and the orange lines are the wards.

I have marked the red and orange locations of our direct-line-great-great grandparents.  Many dots represent many generations from that area.  There are many more that I have just not found yet.  The top blue dots represent where we live and the Boston Temple.  The upper left red marker is for Ira Stearns Hatch who joined the church with his wife, Wealtha Bradford.  They went to Nauvoo where they lived until she got sick and told her family, "She would never see the rocky mountains, but her family would" before she died from cholera.

The ancestors in the upper right all came from the New England area.  The Hatches, Rices, Bradfords and Trues are just a few of the family lines from my mom's Hatch line. My father's line also comes from there, especially his mother Hattie Green Parker's Green line.  

Rainy-day walk around our apartment complex.

This rock outcrop is right in front of where we often park our car.

I love this scripture and thought from Elder Damiani.
