Ensign Peak

Tonight we took all of the Youth going on Trek to Ensign Peak. It was on this Peak that Brigham Young stood with other leaders of the church and picked the spot for the Salt Lake Temple. He had been shown this place by Joseph Smith in a vision. The Deseret News refers to it as "Utah's Mt. Sinai." It is a sacred and beautiful spot overlooking the whole Salt Lake Valley. We had a great time, and the kids hiked it in 12 minutes! Bro. Morris talked to them about the importance of the Peak and then after taking some pics, we made our way back down, loaded up the cars and headed to Brigham Young's grave. A group of some of our other girls helped out at the Utah Food Bank tonight, giving service there.

Trek Prep!

It is a month of Trek around these here parts!! We are having a lot of fun getting ready! There is excitement all around for sure! Two weeks ago we got together and showed the girls the last Trek video, so they would have an idea of what takes place. We also cut out our names for our 5 gallon buckets.....even those have to be cute ya'll!! Last night was our Stake Trek "Hoe-down!" That was a great time! Morgan even won the pie-eating contest! Nice Job Morg!! Trek is less than a month away now! Can't wait!

Ultimate Frisbee

The Young Men were in charge of our combined activity this month. They planned Ultimate Frisbee. Basically, we had a lot of fun and froze ourselves to death, and then went home! It was great! Thanks guys for a fun night.....we had to drag some of the girls away from the game to go home....the others? Well, we stood off to the side and snuggled to stay warm, while cheerleading of course! (Ok, and talking!)
