Following their baptisms they could think of nothing except Great-Grandmoth- er Vred-ball- e, preparing themselves for the long journey across the ocean where they could live in Zion with the body of the Saints. Families and friends thought they had taken leave of their senses, but they were willing to face anything that might come for the sake of the Gospel. It must have been difficult to leave her homeland. Karen spoke often of her beloved Denmark, where Lilies Of The Valley and other beautiful flowers grew wild in profusion. The decision had John wished to go farther to the South. Thus they settled in Mt. Pleasant, Sanpete County. They traded a feather tick and a bed for a city lot . They built an adobe house.
