Traveling with family this trip has been one of the highlights of my life. I have enjoyed the closeness and the bond that unites us...love. As we traveled to the town of Pištín near České Budějovice and visited the church where ggg grandma Maria Ziegelbauerova was baptized in 1826, I felt excited to see another place where our family once stood. But I was unprepared for the feelings I felt as I looked at the gravestones of the Ciglbauerovas. I felt excitement, sadness, joy, and concern. It is really is hard to describe the emotions as they all seemed to happen at the same time. I did walk away feeling that our family was happy we were there. They knew that we had not forgotten them. I felt a great need to be more proactive in doing genealogy, making trips to the temple, and living my life in a way that I will continue to feel and hear the Spirit.
