Then the day arrived. We packed and bought all the necessary supplies.
Had to be at the church at 6:30. Nick forgot his hat of course so I had to make a trip home to get it...You can't be on Trek without a hat. Plus we had to make an emergency trip to Lee's (the local grocery store) to get it the night before because Andrew lost the other Trek hat at lake Powell.
I didn't get time to take an pic of Abi at home since she left early since she was on the committee
They got there and they had a short meeting to organize. I stayed because I was waiting to get a pic of Abi. She was sitting on the stand so I had to wait for the meeting to end. It was actually a nice meeting. The Stake President said there were about 10,000 hours or preparation by the couple in charge and probably about 10,000 hours or worry for them too.
Abi is up on the right side at the Sacrament table...I was at the back
I love dropping them off. It was fun dropping them off because driving over there, you would see people out jogging and then lots of people in these long pants and long skirts. At first you are like, what? Who does that at 6:00 am. Well, the first one I saw was the Stake President walking. I didn't give him a ride since he needed to practice for Trek... But it was cool to see all these people dressed up in pioneer costumes ready to Trek like our ancestors and hopefully get acquainted with God along the way.
This is After Trek. It was so fun to pick them up. FOUR buses pulled in to drop them off. There were 220 people that attended trek. That is a Ton.
That is Nick with the stripe suspenders...
They were super dirty and stinky. There was plenty of hugging of the fellow trekkers. Lots of high fives and 'good jobs'. We went to Maverik after and saw a member of the Stake Presidency. He high fived us all and said they were awesome. So glad they could have such a good time. Hopefully they got acquainted with God along the way like the real Pioneers did.
