Excerpts of Thank-you Notes from Past Tour Members

I have been on many bus tours.  This was the best ever!  Carol Butterfield

We so enjoyed the trip with you.  We are very happy to have seen so many site of church history in such a scholarly fashion.  May the Lord Bless you.  Norma & Murray Fenton

From the first song and prayer on the coach in Kansas City before going to Independence, I could tell this would be a wonderful experience.  The next five days proved to be one of the greatest experiences of our marriage.  The Nauvoo tour was great – and more memorable.  It was a spiritual feast from beginning to end.  Don Bigelow

It was excellent.  The more I think about the tour it becomes even more special in my memory.  We have told many people about our choice experience with you.  I can’t think of anything I would change.   Dean and Virginia Hill

...It was a wonderful experience we learned so much and enjoyed the sweet spirit of our Heavenly Father every day. Gayle Wilson

It was such a spiritual experience for our whole family. . . .We appreciated your warmth and openness to having children on the trip.  Hearing some of their comments and listening to some of their journal entries, I'm sure the Spirit was touching their hearts . . .    the Bezdjian family

It was a life-changing experience.  Roger and Leda Brockbank

There are no words to express our thanks. This was not a trip. It was an adventure into the past. We appreciate your attention to details, the knowledge you shared, but most of all the spirit we felt. Thank you, Thank you - G.R. and Jean Mather

Thank you so very much for taking the time to plan & carry out the Butterfield tour. For me, it was perfect in everyway. Kay Hadley

Words really cannot express my sincere thanks for such a tour. Words cannot express my appreciation for the wonderful trip and experience I had July 22-26, 1999, touring church history sites. . . I particularly noticed my feelings when I read the vignette about Mary Fielding. I had read it over a number of times before the trip, but when I was reading it in front of the group at Far West, it was hard to control my emotions. . . Afton Ferris (assigned the Mary Fielding role at the Far West Temple site).

I want to express my appreciation and gratitude for all your hard work and worrying in putting together this amazing tour; and most especially for the special reverence and spirituality that you brought to each moment of those five glorious days. Truly, this was one of the spiritual highlights of my life and at a time when it was most needed and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Carol O. Eccles

Not only is it marvelous to visit Church history sites and through documented enactments personally relive the events of those valiant Saints, but to do so in the company of present friends and neighbors, is truly a life altering experience. Ron and Nancy Bouck

No monetary value could be put on the enrichment and enlightenment we received this past week It was priceless. It was a life-changing event. Dan & Sheila Roberts & Family

This note is long overdue. I was so excited about the trip and knew I should write a note but just didn't know where to start. I was so overwhelmed with all we saw and did and the feelings I had could not be expressed in words and still I don't know if those feelings can ever be expressed in words. Gwen Reid

We really had the greatest spiritual trip of our lives. We cannot express our gratitude but will try with Thank you so very much.   Ron & Louise Nelson

Words really cannot express my sincere thanks to you for such an inspirational tour. I shall never forget it. The tour was perfect. I am so grateful. Fern Lambert
