The Stake Leaders and Stake Trek Specialists
The Trek scripture: 1 Nephi 16:5
And it came to pass thaey did humble themselves before the Lord, insomuch that I had joy and great hopes of them, that they would walk in the paths of righteousness.
Ren and I were the specialists over the transportation, making sure everyone and everything got to Martins's Cove. We arranged for the busing, the stake supplies to be transported including the food and then making sure all the leaders got there in as few of vehicles as possible.
It was a wonderful experience except for a few kinks with some wards that didn't want to ride the school bus and going to the Stake President about it. That was a bit disheartening, they should have just come to us. It was a stressful enough situation let alone to have that. But it probably was alot like those orignally trekking, you have those that did all they could and should and those that would murmur. In retrospect I learned alot and learned that I too had some thoughts that maybe I should have controlled a little bettter.
The Willie and Martin Handcart Companies went through so much that I believe I should do alot better with all that I have. I have a great love and admiration for them. I will most likely never be that strong, but hope to get close by learning about them and trying to exemplify them and the Savior whom they gave everything for.
