Hey Everyone!
I cant believe how close our amazing Trek is! Its crazy to think that the time is flying by so fast! There are so many things that we should be doing to prepare already! Weird, i know right? Actually doing something with our lives. Just kidding;) I know that you all already work hard but here we are, giving you this awesome experience and we just want it to be the best thing that could possibly happen in your life, not to brag or anything.
So, here is what YOU can do. FIRESIDE!! Show up!! Oh wait when is it you ask? Pay attention in Young Men and Young Womans because us super heroes were there, and we told you all about it! But because we are such kind and loving people we will tell you again. FEBRUARY 24TH, 5 PM, CHURCH CLOTHES, STAKE CENTER, EVERYONE IS INVITED! :) and we are super excited because the amazing Jollene Allphin is coming! and she has so many awesome stories and things to tell us! We have also asked a stake in Salem to join us because really, the more the better. Plus they will be at Martins Cove at the same time we will so that's pretty awesome that we are letting them come! Hey! Know what else you could do? Find her book! its awesome! and it will help you get your 'extra mile' award! its called Tell My Story, Too and it has a ton of helpful things to help you find some stories if you had ancestors in those hand cart companies.
Which brings me to the next item. Find an ancestor you want to walk for! No, This doesn't mean that they had to have been in the Willy Martin Hand Cart Company but if they are, that's just a bonus! For Pete's sake, i'm not even walking for a girl ancestor! Ha ha that's silly you think but its not!! Know their story! Know their relatives! Contact John and Rilla Hawkins if your having troubles finding someone or their story! They are thee nicest people you will meet and they know so much and they are hilarious!:)
AND DON'T FORGET YOUR PERIOD CLOTHING! Its so SUPER important that you have your own period clothing by April 1st! if you are having trouble finding period clothing, just you wait. The stake Young Womans Presidency is putting together a packet of information for all of you! Go to the D.I., everyone loves going Thrift Shopping, why not get some pioneer clothing while your there!:) or there are plenty of websites online or stores but seriously even ask your grandpa for his hand-me-downs!;)
Ha Ha well, i hope you all are as excited for this amazing experience as we are! Please don't be afraid to contact any of us if you have any questions!!:) Thanks for reading and have a splendid time getting ready for trek with us!:)
Love, The Super Heroes
