Trek 2013 Experiences

Jade’s Trek Experiences

What was the most memorable part of Trek for you?
The most memorable part of Trek for me was the first 15 minutes of the second day when we had to pack everything up and re-load the handcart. It was crazy because we were loading and making breakfast at the same time, and at that time it felt like the smoke from the coals was almost following me as I was loading buckets and sleeping bags into the cart.

How did your Trek Experiences impact your testimony?

How my Trek Experiences impact my testimony was by having me forget my inhaler at home by accident and having to do all of Trek without it. My testimony grew in faith because I had to extend out my faith farther then what I was use to in order to not have a asthma attack on the way.

Celidah’s Trek Experiences

What was the most memorable part of Trek for you?
For Trek I think the most memorable experience was what one of my trek family members said. He had diabetes and before he came to trek he had a fathers blessing which told him that angels would be there to help give him strength. He said that was the reason he was able to help so much and so long as long as his blood sugars were fine.

How did your Trek Experiences impact your testimony?
Trek boosted my testimony because I was able to understand what the pioneers went through… They had to bury their brothers, sisters, parents and children…  They had to leave them behind to hungry wolves who waited, watching, for their next meal; your family member.  And they did it willingly and knew that this was going to be hard. I don’t know if I would have made that mentally or emotionally.

forgotten update

Hmm I see I forgot to post that Ellie was only in the hospital a couple days this time. However, the plan is separate her g and j tubes next times. In order for this to happen she will under go another operation. The good news is with the Elecare Infant Formula mixed Mct oil she is finally growing and gaining weight even if if the growth is slow. She is growing and gaining.
