He went on a three day Handcart Trek with the youth in our Stake. It was from Thurs to Saturday, they dressed in pioneer clothes, slept under the stars (no tents) and pulled handcarts up hills, through streams and creeks and learned alot.
It was the most awesome thing I have EVER seen! I am so glad he went. He plays football for his High School and he and a friend were boasting that they would be able to eat a sandwich, text, and run with the handcart the whole time. Well, they weren't allowed to bring phones of course and I was a little skeptical but they did well! They do practice for football in 100 plus weather....soooo
They originally had the group Jordan was in as Group 1, but they literally were too fast and everyone else was way behind, so they moved them to the back and my studly son did pull the cart the whole time--so proud!
It was a great event, well organized with alot of amazing adults to accompany them!
So here is the first photo of a Puerto Rican pioneer :-)
