The next morning after our surprise party we met Travis on a special piece of property in Vidor, Texas. This is the location that 2 missionaries were lost in a storm and found their way to Travis' 5th great Grandpa William Williamson (on his mom's side). When William Williamson saw these two young men he said, "Them there's my men". Shortly after he took them in and learned the gospel he was carried in a wagon (due to his poor health) and baptized. His Son Jasper was baptized and then Jasper's daughter Maggie, then her son Wade Hayes, then his daughter Rachel and then Travis. If it weren't for those two missionaries 1,000's of decendants would not have the true gospel of Jesus Christ. The photo of Travis walking with the field behind him was the actual field the missionaries came through and found William Williamson. Travis is the last living 5th Great Grandchild of William Williamson. Now he's blazing his OWN trail as a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
