Grayson Goes on TREK

Every four years, the Franklin Stake sponsors a youth TREK, where the Young Men and Young Women go for a 3-day 'trek' across rough terrain pulling covered wagons, sleeping in tents, eating food rations, etc. in commemoration of the pioneers coming across the plains. I was so glad Grayson got to go this year!

I usually do lots of collages, but because of the nature of these photos, I think you have to see them all at full size to appreciate them!

Grayson was the "big brother" in his family. The "big sister" was Amy Grayson, on his left. they were basically
IN CHARGE of running the show. Ma and Pa Sherwood were just there for supervision.

Activity where they were told to "look & feel the environment" while blindfolded, likened it to walking in the dark with faith, hoping that the way will be made clear, etc.

Grayson was originally sort of "whatever" about going on the TREK, but afterwards, said it was one of the best experiences of his life. He said he learned so much, and really enjoyed working hard and doing all the things they did during the event. We are so glad he had such a great experience, and grateful to the youth leaders who made it happen!
