This is Mike. Michelle generally posts to the M&M Gang blog. In the past it was our traditional quarterly what’s-happening-in-our-family report-style write up. Like most of the other similar traditional BHP, postings were scarce. A while ago Michelle and I discussed making this particular blog be more family history oriented. If you’ve looked at it recently, you’ve noticed the obvious change.
Recently, my little sister, Cris, asked some of us older family members to capture for her and others our recollections of our family's early membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She wants to compile what she sees as our family gospel pioneer stories. Much of it happened at a time when she was too young to remember, and the following generation is completely unaware. I asked her if posting it here in snippets, story-by-story as I remember them would be appropriate for what she was looking for, rather than some sort of larger work. For me at least, writing in smaller parts means it’s more likely to progress as opposed to trying to capture it all at once.
If the reader has an interest, unlikely as that may be, there are already a few of these stories captured in the more than two decades of BHP documents published on this website. There’s a link to the archive at the bottom of the BHP page. Feel free to browse. In any case, along with the more traditional family history submissions Michelle posts on the M&M Gang blog, I’ll post the occasional ‘pioneer’ story of the sort I hope Cris has in mind.
