Trek 2008

My Stake went on Trek July 9-12. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! I would totally do it again if I got the chance. I learned a ton of stuff. My favorite part was the Women's pull. That taught me how much the Pioneer woman had to of gone through. It also made me realize how important men are in our lives and how it's really hard to make it through this life without them!
