We are off to see cousins and uncles and aunts that we have never even met before!! Our drive up was soo beautiful! When we left Mesa it was probably only 40 something degrees and by the way the date is May 23rd. It was so much fun to find out so much about Mark's family... they are not so bad afterall. St. George was so beautiful, it was the first time that I had been there. Mark's sis lives there in a castle. We did a lot of playing games, eating and getting to know eachother... Mark's aunt brought old papers with her to go through, and our cousin Radene was reading this letter and found out this huge missing link in the Hatfield Family line. This woman Rhoda, wrote this and explained everything. She was baptized in 1832, and wrote that she worked with Joseph Smith. So we are thinking that she was one of the first ones baptized in the family. The letter she wrote was just like it had been written to us...which is why I decided to blog. Unbelievable is all that I can say about the whole thing. Now we know that all of the Hatfields in Springville are related to us. We loved spending time with our family and getting to some church history sites, like Brigham Young's home and Jacob Hamblin's. We need to go back and spend more time going to Zion's Canyon. So maybe Next summer!!
