Pioneer Trek!

What a great experience for Emily and Tanner. All the youth in our stake ages 14-18 traveled for three days like the pioneers did. They pulled their belongings in a handcart while traveling the dusty roads. They ate food and did activities similar to the pioneers. John and I went up with others to help with the activities. We were with the Rays to help the youth make journals. There was the handcart pull where just the girls and women had to pull the handcart up the hill, while the men and boys joined the Mormon Batallion. They felt the spirit and gained a greater appreciation for what the early pioneers went through. What a wonderful expereince our stake provided for our youth.
