Great Great Grandpa Crane

I thought this was an awsome story about William Crane and I think he can be a great example to us all.

William Crane (Grandma's Grandfather) was called on a mission to England in 1896. At the time he was 37 years old and had a wife and 7 kids he had to leave. He served for 26 months in England. He also had a sheep business at the time and when he got home, he had to sell the sheep because of the debts he had. This must have taken so much faith and courage to leave his family and business to serve the Lord. Even though many of his friends told him that it was a foolish thing to do, he was still obedient. He ended up dying soon after at age 42 from pnemonia. He left his wife and 9 children this time. This story also shows the great strength that his wife must have had. She must have had great faith in the Lord as well.
