Trekkers

Friday, June 27th, was a biiiggg day for us. Elder Seymore talked to 4 trek groups and I talked to four -- we tell them the story of the rescue of the Willie Company. Close to 800 in those 8 groups. The bridge the trekkers are going over was built in Dec. '05 by the Elders while we were here. They used floor jacks on the ice to keep it level while they ran the bolts through the poles to keep it altogether. One girl was on crutches -- reminded me of Chantz doing his trek on crutches. One of the boys said, "I danced with you last nite." We help with the Virginia Reel and Oh, Johnny, Oh. For the younger generation, that's old fashioned dances. We go from talks, dancing, cleaning toilets, spreading dirt, painting--you name it, we do it. We had about 1500 trekkers during the week. We just hope they take something from here that will help them throughout their lives.
