I want to be a Pioneer

In the last week of July, both Joshua and Tanner were able to go on a Pioneer Trek to Martin's Cove, Wyoming with our Stake. I'm not sure of the total amount of youth that went, but it was close to 200 with leaders included. It was a very well planned out orchestrated event.

The Stake posted over 1200 pictures on a website where we could go to and look at each one. I just finished! I pulled off several pictures to share.

The leaders had each youth that participated write down their thoughts of their experience the very next Sunday at church. They put all these thoughts and testimonies in binders and gave them to the Stake Presidency, Bishops and Leaders of the Trek. They also gave a copy to the parents (just their own child's testimony). What a wonderful keepsake!

Know this guy? Think about childhood friends in our neighborhood as we were growing up? How about Dr. Kevin Duke... he was one of the "medic's" on hand for the group.
