Faith in Every Footstep
In Utah we have parades and fireworks to celebrate the arrival of Mormon pioneers in the Salt Lake Valley.
Many of my ancestors were among those who trekked here from Winter Quarters in 1847 and after. The Cobabe ancestor FFL Cobabe joined the Church in Copenhagen 12 Oct 1862, and immigrated to Utah in 1864. He and his family arrived in Salt Lake City on 15 Sept 1864 with the William B. Preston Company and a group of LDS converts from Scandinavia. More of his story here.
We have all been pioneers in our own life, finding our own way. My sisters Mary and Kathy helped the handcarts roll into Temple Square, around 1970.
My sister Beth was born on Pioneer Day. Her birthday celebration is rather lively.
