In 1896, my eighteen year old great grandfather, William Henry Summerhays, began a two year mission to the Southern States Mission.  He and his companions were to travel primarily on foot, without purse or script.  As he departed to serve in the Florida Conference, the Sunday School presented him with a journal where he detailed miles traveled, lessons taught, the people he stayed with, those who protected him from those who wished him harm and so many events of his two years of service. He was diligent in keeping this record so when my parents were called to the Florida Tallahassee Mission in 2007 and our third son was called to serve in the Florida Jacksonville Mission in 2021, I pulled out William’s journal to compare some of the places he lived and served.
