This is how we celebrated it in the mission field near Salt Lake City, UT in the summer of 2007.
We all tried to dress in casual pioneer clothes and had a picnic in the famous This Is The Place Heritage Park.

The Clantons
Elder Healey was in charge of buildings besides his regular shift in the Library. He could barely hear from one ear and was almost completely deaf in the other. You had to stand close, speak slowly, and shout into his hearing aids. Still, he served a very fruitful mission and seemed to work harder than most of us.

The train is empty but the memories are full.
