we have ourselves a "trekkie"...

 Spencer left this morning to go on "Trek" with our stake.

He was just a tad bit excited to go!!!

Our older girls have gone, but they went in Texas....

 This Utah Trek will be a little different, I think.

I'm excited for him, for the experiences and growth that will happen in the next 3 days.

They only do this every four years. 

It's one of those life experiences that you'll always remember

because it connects your head and heart together,

and
 that is one of the most powerful and spiritual of live's lessons. 

(my only worry is the heat, cuz I'm a mom...)

Have fun buddy,  We love you!

Trekkies

(Don't get me wrong, It's 3 something in the morning, and I'm awake listening to the rain, and thinking about my litttle pioneer girl, she's probably doing the same thing, lying awake in her tent, listening to the rain too!

It's humbling even more so to think of our pioneer ancestors who crossed the plain,

I have many ancestors who did so,

I'm grateful for what they did, and I'm grateful Caitlyn gets to gain a better understanding and testimony at such a young age, so many of them were her same age, and although Caitlyn is enduring cold and wet rain, our pioneers had to endure so much more, for such a longer period of time, don't get me wrong,

as humbling as it is for Caitlyn to have this pioneer experience,

I'm still worried about her,

and look forward just that much more for her safe return home tomorrow afternoon!)
