Ginger Ewell
Ginger Ewell was born in Oakland, California. When she was eight years old, her father passed away, and her mother decided to move the family to Las Vegas, where she grew up.
​
After graduating from Rancho High School and waiting for her missionary, she was married in the St. George Temple. She and Larry are the parents of eight children—six girls and two boys—and they have 39 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren.
​
She has taught early morning seminary for the last 45 years and loves every minute of it. She previously taught two Adult Religion classes, and today she shares her insights through her podcast, "Ginger Ewell – Come Follow Me Insights."
​
She and her husband founded Latter Day Tours in 1988, taking busloads of youth to the Church history sites every year. Larry ran the company alongside Ginger until his passing on November 25, 2009—a loss she describes as the hardest trial she has ever faced. Ginger continued as owner until 2023, when she sold the company to their daughter and son-in-law, Jill and Robert. In the years since Larry's passing, her large family has been a tremendous source of joy and peace.
​
She says the most exciting thing she has ever done was dress up in a modest Wonder Woman outfit, head out to the International Hotel, and land a spot on the game show "Let's Make a Deal." Chosen from the audience by Monty Hall, she walked away with $1,200—money the family used to take their children back east to the Church history sites.
​
She lives in the Palo Verde Ward of the Las Vegas Redrock Stake, and her motto is "Murmur Not".
Robert & Jill Harper
Robert and Jill Harper are native Nevadans who met as teenagers and, following Robert's mission, were married in the St. George Temple 39 years ago.
​
They are the proud parents of six children and grandparents to twelve. The daughter of Larry and Ginger Ewell, Jill has served as office manager and tour coordinator for Latter Day Tours since 2009.
Robert and Jill have been part of the Latter Day Tours family for many years, and they treasure being involved with a company that blesses the youth in so many ways.
They have served as chaperones, teachers, and hosts, and have worked with young people through a variety of callings in their ward and stake. More than anything, they love being with the youth, having fun together, and helping them build stronger testimonies.
