Trek Aug 3-6 2011

We were called to be a Pa & Ma for our Stake Youth Confrence "Trek"  We were so excited when they called us to go with the youth.  It has been a long journey of planning and preparing.  We werent given our families until we got up there so we had no idea who we would be with.  We prepared ourselves by walking a lot before we went so we would be ready physically.  It was planned that we would walk 12 miles on the first day and 5 on the second and 10 on the third.   Well they misjudged and we ended up walking over 33 miles.  It was so worth it!!  The spirit was so strong and our family was Awesome!!! We started out with 4 girls and 4 boys.  We had one girl that had to go home the first day due to Anxiety.  So we ended up with 7.  These seven youth did not complain one time about anything.  They walked with blisters and aching mucsles and never did you hear a word.  Michael also hurt his knee on the first day but he continued to walk all 33 miles with the help of an ace bandage and ibuprofen.  We are so grateful for this wonderful experience.  We would for sure go again but after our muscles have healed!!!
