For the last eleven months my husband and I have been part of a Stake Committee to help plan and carry out a pioneer Trek. Our responsibilityhas been to train the couples who were called to be the Ma's and Pa's.
During the past four weeks we have had to rearrange our priorty list to get everything squared away for 16 Ma's and Pa's who were absolutely amazing in leading their families.
And the beginning of last week was filled with enough run-around details that thankfully, were finished before I ran out of time, to get Trek things together for my husband and me - and three of our boys who were also able to attend.
All I can say is - Trek was one. incredible. experience.
It was e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. I had expected it to be - and much, much more.
And like everything good (and everything bad) - it came to pass.
I'll be forever grateful for the awesome journey.
We had the opportunity this past week to go to Martin's Cove in Wyoming and hear about the Willy-Martin Handcart company. The kids even got to pull handcarts around the park. Yeah, we wouldn't have made very good pioneers. No shouts of "all is well" from my kids...
