"But why do we have to go?" Jenny whined as she tagged along after Adam, fiddling with the bow on the back of her dress.
Adam sighed as he stopped, picking up his Sunday hat and dusting it off, "Because it's good for us and pa wants us to." He said as he tried to remain patient with his littlest sibling, but it was difficult considering she had been asking the question since the day before when their pa had announced that they were going to see the circuit preacher this morning.
"But why Adam?" Jenny asked as she jutted her lip out in a pout. She wanted to go fishing, and she couldn't.
Adam closed his eyes as he once again reminded himself to be patient with the six year-old.
He then opened his eyes and he looked at her, "I already told you why Jennifer. Because pa said that we are going. Besides, you'll enjoy church." he told her with a smile.
"No I won't!" Jenny said as her frown deepened. "It's boring, all I do is sit. 'Sides the preacher uses big words that I don't understand."
Adam found her expression humorous but he didn't dare let on as his smile disappeared, "I tell you what Jenny. You can sit beside me in church and if you don't understand just tell me and I'll try to explain it to you, then afterwards we can go fishing."
Jennifers frown let up as she eyed her older brother, "Really?" she asked as she contemplated what he said. "Okay, I guess that won't be so bad." she said reluctantly.
Adam sighed, finally she was going to drop the subject, he picked her up and placed her in the wagon then he got in and drove it up to the house to where his pa and brothers were waiting.
Once they had all gotten in they made their way to Virginia City to hear the preacher.
