Trek Update

I still can't get over Trek. It was such a great experience. I had the best time there, and even though it was very hard, I had a great time, and I'm glad that I went. I think that one of the things that hit me the hardest was the women's pull, and how I had to just watch the women come up this hill that was about a mile long, and I couldn't do anything to help them. The leaders told us not to help the women pull the handcarts up the hill until they were at the top.  I remember how hard it was for me to watch every one of the women come up the hill. I think back on it now, and I compare it to our Father in Heaven. He sees us struggle, and he is helpless. I can't take away our pains. He just has to sit there and watch us through our trials. I compared a lot of Trek to the Plan of Salvation. Almost everything that happened there could relate back to something spiritual. I remember when I got my letters from my parents during lunch on the third day, that when I was reading them, how I felt the spirit, and felt almost the same as when I got my Patriarchal Blessing. I am so glad that I was able to have a great time there.
