Trek

I was lucky enough to be called as an adult child to trek this year. To be honest I don't know if I was really that excited for it. I mean leaving my husband and kids for three nights, sleeping in a sleeping bag under the stars in cold weather with no sleeping pads, no showers, using port a potties, trekking all day in the heat, and wearing these ridiculous outfits is not my type of vacation. But you know I would do it all over again. What a wonderful experience and very humbling at that. I was able to find a very special spot in my heart for the Pioneers. I can't even imagine what our ancestors went through. I sure have a greater appreciation for the Pioneers. I was placed in the Denney family. I was able to get to know some great kids and hear such wonderful testimonies from these kids. The spirit was so strong and I couldn't ask for a better trek experience.
