Pioneer Trek 2013

Jill and I were asked to help lead the Spiritual Committee for our stake's Pioneer Trek.  We have a large stake of 11 wards and hundreds of youth.  We have gone on other treks as Ma & Pa, and Company Captain, but this was a different experience for us.  It was a huge undertaking, but we had a lot of fun and enjoyed getting to know many great people from our stake.

Here are a few pics:

Whitney and Lexi were in the pioneer band that played on different occasions including the send-off

Kelly Fullmer was a great Ma.  There's Sean Driskill as well.

Joe Haroldsen was a great Pa!

Captain Johns and his wife!

The Torgerson's hauled our gear around and cooked our food each day.  Great people!

We go to work closely with these great men - Shad Martin and Carl Bowcutt

Brother Phil Bloomfield - a great friend
