Today like every day was full of long hard work but that's life I suppose! The rest of the wagon train and I were scrambling for solutions to the blisters that Elias got but we finally decided to keep his foot moist but if it weren't for his decision to hitch a ride on the wagon I believe his leg would have been gone and his life would be to! It's exhausting to herd the sheep when they run away every five minutes! In fact the rest of the wagon train and I starting to get blisters, but I fear that our fate might not be as lucky as Elias and I noticed that the others got blisters too, not only that but we are caked in dust and I'm sick of it! Speaking of sick I'm so home sick I wish I could turn around right now despite how much we've traveled and I don't think the others feel to differently. I miss my old friends and the family I left behind. I am so sore because I am sleeping under a wagon and even though I'm tired i cant sleep because of the dirty cloths I'm sleeping on. OucH! IT is so sad because I see so many graves and there ar mostly kids 5 and under it makes me feel like the parents and how sad there are. How I cant wait to get there.
