Summary

Brian and Karen Hill served as leaders of the 1997 Pioneer Mormon Trail Wagon Train Re-enactment. In this episode we talk about Brian's younger years, his mission to the Navajo people, Karen's early life, her conversion to the gospel, how they met, their love of the outdoors, and then their role in the re-enactment. It is a beautiful story of honoring and celebrating our pioneer ancestors.

0:26.8	Hello, friends, and welcome to episode 202 of the Latter Day Lives podcast. I'm your host,
0:32.6	Sean Rupier. Thank you so much for joining us again this week. We've got such a great conversation coming up.
0:39.3	But first, we do want to thank two new reviewers on Apple Podcast.
0:44.0	The listener names are Nikki N.S. Gibb and Johnson B.14.
0:49.9	Both left just wonderful reviews.
0:52.4	Thank you so much for the kind words, and the show just keeps
0:55.7	on growing, and this certainly helps. We really, really appreciate it. My guest on the show this

1:08.4	They were a request from a listener who had reached out
1:11.9	to our producer, Gene, and had requested them saying they'd be wonderful. And that listener
1:19.9	was right. They were amazing. In 1997, there was a celebration of the Mormon Trail wagon train, and they actually reenacted the entire thing.
1:33.3	And Brian and Karen were instrumental in that.
1:36.8	They were leaders of this and the stories they have from that event, not to mention just getting to hear Karen's conversion story.
1:44.0	I just love the hills. The funny
1:46.8	thing is, we're in the same steak. We had never met each other, never heard of each other.
1:51.6	So thank you to whoever you are, the listener who requested them. And I had them in my home,
1:58.2	which was a blessing. Always good to meet people, but just love Brian and Karen.
2:03.2	They're coming up. And coming up this week in my latter-day life, let's go trekking. It's all coming up.
