A fun sidelight to the RS lesson today.  (it was wonderful Jyl) 
Emily, who wrote the hymn, "As Sisters in Zion,"  was a member of the Willie/Martin handcart company.  She really understood what it meant to work together.  She wrote the poem later in life.  If you want a good laugh Google the original poem, there are some funny verses not included in the hymn book.
