(5.17) Happy 24th of July: Forgotten Saints

Send us a text

A few years ago I wrote a book entitled Forgotten Saints: A Pioneer Story of Those Who Lived and Died without a Trace. In this episode I share an excerpt from Chapter 10 of that book. It's a story about how I imagined two young people falling in love in Nauvoo. That love story led to the birth of Valerian Russell, the sole survivor of his family who completed the trek across the plains to the Salt Lake Valley. Both his parents died and were buried on the plains, as were both of his siblings. It's a love story during a time of extreme trial. Hope you like it.

Want know more about the music on this podcast? We are blessed to have M. Diego Gonzalez as a regular contributor of songs he has arranged, performed, and recorded especially for this podcast. My wife and I became acquainted with Diego when he was serving a as missionary in the Puerto Rico San Juan Mission. We were so impressed with his talent, we asked if he would compose and perform songs for Filled With His Love. He thankfully agreed. Hope you enjoy his work!
