This is such a sweet poem. I was looking for something like this to share at our RS anniversary dinner commemorating the pioneer women and appreciating their sacrifice and faith. Thank you.

I would like to print your “Counterparts” poem on the cover of our Ward Sacrament Meeting Bulletin. Our Young Men and Young Women have just returned from a 4 day reinactment of the Martin and Willie Handcart Company at Martins Cove Wyoming. The leaders of the young people stressed how the trials that today’s church youth face may be different from those of the church members of the past, but the youth still have trials to face and that they are pioneers, too. I would like your permission to use your poem. I will, of couse, be sure to include your name as the author. Please let me know what you think.

What a blessing it is to find this poem this morning! We homeschool and are working on Idaho history with my 9 yr old daughter. We live in Idaho, but we are going to UT next weekend to remember that without the pioneers we wouldn’t have the blessings of the Church here in Idaho. This poem will be a wonderful addition to our lessons this week.

Blessings.
