Trek

As most of you know this summer has been full of the great outdoors for our family!

It all began with the pioneer trek at Martin's Cove, Wyoming in June.

Antonio and I were called as a ma and pa for our stake youth conference. The trip was amazing in every way.












As some of you may already know as part of trek all of the women participate in the women's pull. This symbolizes the sacrifices that women made in crossing the plains with their husbands and sons either being sick, deceased, or called away to the Mormon Battalion.

We had to come together and pull our cart up a very steep, extremely rocky hill while the men watch on and were not allowed to come to our aide. Many of us gained profound respect for pioneer women in that experience.

All in all we were bonded together through many trials and Spiritual experiences, yet can still not imagine how anyone stayed faithful in such adversity.
