- Where the Bishop is not enough? - Candace thought nervously, while caring for her sick husband, Bob.
- He must be coming, baby - Bob said, with great effort.
Bob was burning with fever. His condition was very serious. The stone that struck weighed over one hundred pounds and luckily, not nailed or about this time, already dead.
Candace spent cloth compresses on his forehead as he prayed constantly to God for help.
''Heavenly Father, please do not let my husband die. He always was a good man and that strives to keep his commandments.''
Bob was a black man, who arrived in Salt Lake early age, through the Rocky Mountains on foot. He remembered those days well cold and sacrifice that made it alive to get the''dream city.'' Born in New York, Bob, who did not know his father and his mother were released at the hands of a good man Protestant who believed that all races were equal before God. This good man bought black and put them to work on your property. After a year of manumission gave the person who had the freedom to stay or choose your destination. Bob's mother, after he received the freedom, in the west heard say that there was a land of peace, where blacks and whites were brothers and lived in community. Although she is free she felt they should leave, because for them, New York was not a good place for a lone woman and a young son dwell. It was then that she decided to pursue the various caravans headed for Utah.
The journey was long and hard. Without a cart or a mule, and Bob and his mother would walk most of the time.
Sometimes a person give in a more charitable place for them in a wagon, but this was rare.
The love that his mother had for him was immense. Bob has never forgotten the day when the two went through the ice and she carried in her arms even when tired. As it was''beautiful and kind mother,''Bob always said to his closest friends, almost the brother he had not; Kairel.
One day during a stampede of buffalo, Bob and his mother were surrounded on all sides by huge animals that ran out of control.
It all started when a rowdy group of pioneers decided to have fun and went to a place where the buffalo would gather to drink and rest. Even since being with enough supplies to reach the next stop in another group of pioneers a little further on these troublemakers surrounded the animal and unloaded the ammunition, all at the same time. The buffalo were frightened by the noise and seeing if the alternative was trapped out of shot towards the only exit and that they found by chance, led straight to the middle of the caravan, bringing doom to the middle of the''holy''.
Those who managed to protect within the wagon, behind rocks and trees, were more fortunate. Since they had nothing but the clothes on his back, Bob and his mother, as well as other poor people of the company, were thrown to their own devices, with God's mercy to free them of the terrible explosion. But that day seems God has forgotten some of their children.
Trampled by hundreds of buffalo, many children, men, women and elderly people died. It was a sad day for that company of pioneers, especially to Bob, who saw his mother being trampled and killed, by paying undeservedly bad joke and criminal, by men who called themselves Latter-day Saints, but they behaved like mobs of dirty criminals.
The most memorable moment for Bob, more striking even than the tragic death of his mother was buried when a little distant from other people dead.
While other families were comforted by friends and relatives, no one came to see Bob as he was, if they could do something to help you or offer you a helping hand on the shoulder.
From that day on, Bob found himself with only twelve years, alone and having to struggle to survive in the midst of a people, in which, for a long time he would be one of the few black boys.
Now, having spent many years since that day, Bob was between life and death, thrown into a bed. Thus, as in those hard days of their journey to Utah, he found himself abandoned by those who one day his mother thought were his comrades, his brothers in equality before God.
