We had the greatest time last week on a pioneer trek with our old stake. It is a little difficult to put into words all the amazing things that happen at a youth conference. The experience gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation for the things my pioneer ancestors did for me as well as a reminder of Heavenly Father's continual hand in my life. There were lots of adventures, including having it pour on us! Overall it was definitely worth it and a great experience. Here's a few lines from our new favorite song "Somewhere there's a mountain" written by Jason Deere.
Somewhere there’s a mountain
I heard the prophet say
That we’ll build a home there
And never have to go away
It’s a long, long way to walk
But one day I’ll climb to the top
And that’s where I’ll find Jesus
And when I see Him smile
I’ll put my arms around him
It will be worth every mile.
Let the adventure begin!
Our 'family' pulling the handcart.
Relaxing by the brook.

Sounds like you had a great experience on your trek. Can you imagine doing it for weeks and months? We're glad you got to have this experience to gain a greater appreciation for our pioneers.
gotta love the trek! you guys are so cute, hope you can make it this weekend to our party :)
How completely awesome! I loved my pioneer trek I went on as a youth. I'm sure it was even more awesome as a married "ma" and "pa."
OK seriously you are not supposed to look that beautiful when you are on a trek.
