Anthony Felcher and his wife Libby the Pastor that was with the Wagon Train whom Al and Syl (Albert and Sylvia) helped a couple months ago with Savage Indians are conducting a Church function in Sleepy Eye, MN. Pastor Felcher get word that Al and Syl are living in Walnut Grove.
Pastor Fletcher being friends with one of the Secretaries of State at the White House gets in contact with his friend tells him about Al and Syl and everything they have done and asks if the President of the United States, President Grover Cleveland and his wife could come to the honoring ceremony for Al and Syl.

Al and Syl come up to the front and then Pastor Fletcher continues to say, "Al and Syl Quinn we give you this Bible that the President of the United States and his wife as well as myself and my wife along with the Bank President of Mankato signed to say 'thank you' for all you have done. I personally want to thank you for saving my wife by getting the arrow out of her chest so many months ago by the Savage Indians."
Al and Syl accept the Bible as Al says, "My wife Syl and I both thank you for honoring us today but all the honor goes to God our Father above Who we are serving."

We were the ones who attacked the wagon train."
"As well, the Sky couple saved two of my people that same day. We are grateful to them and are indebted to them," The Chief motions to his braves and two Indian children come around and go to their Chief who is also their father.

The Chief Indian says to Nels, "Thank you, I will read this every day because I want to get to know the love of God Almighty"
Nels answers, "You're welcome. That's why God gave everyone the Bible so man would learn the love of God.
Al an Syl, the Pastor and his wife offer to sign the Chief's new Bible.

After everyone has gone Albert and Sylvia take to the air and continue to go out and help others in time of need.
Epilogue
High above the Earth at the beginning of the void of space. The sun slowly rises above the planet. Two flying figures appear they are slowly coming around the planet. The couple are holding hands as they slowly stop and hover. They watch the Sunrise.
Beautiful music can be heard then the couple put their faces together and they slowly engage in a passionate kiss.
As the kiss ends the couple still holding hands resumed their flying positions they turn and they fly off. Both of them smiling as they hear the voice of their Lord.
"EXCELLENT AND WELL DONE MY HEAVENLY CHILDREN. GO AND CONTINUE YOUR DEEDS AS THE HEAVENLY HERO AND HEAVENLY HEROINE I WILL BE WITH YOU."
