Ok so they have hit yet another bump in the trail.. After a painful ten days of riding on an qful train car the immigrants finally make it to iowa. When they get there they are supposed to meet their leaders who will guide them in the continuation of their journey to Utah. But, they get a big surprise. The leaders don't even know that they are coiming. Apparently the mail that came from England telling them of thier coming didn't get to iowa. So, all of the supplies, and money have been exhausted. Everyone in America was under the impression that no one else was coming this year. So, things could get ugly from here on out. They are not sure wheter to let them continue the journey, or to have them stay in Iowa for the winter. No one really knows what to do. The group of saints become very discouraged of course. Wouldn't you if you found out that after all of those obstacles you overcame just to get to Iowa you found out that no one ther was expecting you. THe leaders themselves were just preparing to leave. So, now everyon is pretty much unsure of what to do. For the meantime they are staying in Iowa preparing to go on the trail, unless they change their mind. Wow this is one hard journey for these people.
