Hello from China!

Hey everyone! We just got an opportunity to finally use the internet over here long enough to post a hello! Things here are going great, with our shows in Beijing and Qingdao going very well. Last night we got in to Yantai and had a banquet with the government official here in charge of cultural and media related things and we are leaving to the theater for our show tonight in five minutes. Amy and I are having lots of fun and eating TONS of seafood. Hopefully we get a chance to post again in Shanghai!

Grandma Helen Video

So Amy was trying to find a picture of my grandparents last night and found this neat little video where Grandma Helen tells the story of Coyote and the Winnowing Birds. I don’t ever remember seeing this video, so it was really neat to be able to see it. The majority of the video is in Hopi, but you have the options to watch it with subtitles or not. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy!

Family History Question

So I was studying for a Church History Test and got distracted and stumbled across some info that led to a question. In 1851 John Freeman traveled with his family as part of the David Lewis Company to Salt Lake. Noticeably absent from the company list of members was William H Freeman. Some searching led to the discovery that he traveled with the Allen Taylor Company two years earlier at the age of 16. Some more searching led to finding that his future wife was a part of the Warren Foote company so we know that he didn’t travel with his family to pursue her. Which leads me to ask if anyone knows why he did travel apart from his family?
