Thursday evening, 23 July, the day before Pioneer Day, we met with SNAP friends to remember the pioneers who traveled west at great sacrifice to settle the valleys in which we live. We also remembered their contribution to the establishment of the church. During our gathering meeting, Joseph led us in all the verses of Come Come Ye Saints with Brother Welsh at the piano. After our opening gathering, we moved to the cultural hall to watch
Legacy. Brother Leishman is the technology wizard, and after a very quiet start, we enjoyed the movie at full volume. There was popcorn provided for all who wanted it and a good time was enjoyed by all.
Orihah conducted the opening gathering
Joseph led the music
Brother Welsh accompanied Come Come Ye Saints
Sisters Taylor, Santiago, and Higbee prepared popcorn bags
Everyone seated and ready to go
Brother Leishman works his magic to get the volume up
With the sound up, we were off and rolling
What's a movie without popcorn?
We experienced the sorrow of Leaving Nauvoo
We saw the tremendous hardship of the journey
It was a great way to remember the pioneers
