How I loved Trek.
It was my first. I was on my mission during 'Faith in Every Footstep' when trekking became all of the rage.
I did not realize how walking in the wilderness...while pulling bucket laden handcarts up mudslicks could change me.

I did not realize how walking in the wilderness...while pulling bucket laden handcarts up mudslicks could change me. The people changed me. Below is Bishop Murri and his wife, enthusiastic Ma and Pa to a family that got injured and sick one by one, while the Bishop pulled a gradually heavier burden. Can you imagine having your Bishop pulling your cart can change you?
The youth (as they always do) inspired me. I love them. This picture was taken during the cloudburst on Bishop's night. The best thing about this trek was the love and unity it created. I will be honest, we played 'like crazy'. I love to play. Every family honestly believed that they were the very best.
We actually had a real baby on the trek. No cabbage patch substitute needed for their family.
The spirit was strong. The youth were doing the things that invite it. Inactive youth covenanted to be active again. Nonmember youth felt the spirit. All of us felt the sacrifice of the pioneers and were more grateful. The church became truer.
Although it was my first, I thought it was the number one trek ever. I am grateful for the sacrifice that went into planning and executing it.
It changed the youth and it changed me.
