She was able to take her sister with her after her father reluctantly gave her permission. She had to leave everything because she wanted something eternal. <br /><br />My dad told me that story along time ago, but I still love it. <br /><br />-Leah-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903188381073271553.post-48006858732740764382010-07-25T08:35:16.508-06:002010-07-25T08:35:16.508-06:00I have read several books about the early Church m...I have read several books about the early Church members, The Work and The Glory series and a series set in Nauvoo years ago. But any time I read about the Martin-Willie Handcart companies, even just a paragraph, it touches a special place in my heart.
