Last Week!

Hi everyone-
We thought it would be helpful to remind you of a few things that you need to have ready before Trek THIS THURSDAY!

1- A PIONEER NAME- If you don't have one get one! Along with a short story about that person or tell us about their life.
2- 2 PIONEER OUTFITS to wear. ( Refer to your Personal Equipment list)
3- Bring Sturdy worn in SHOES, don't bring new ones.
4-Bring good SOCKS! We should have a thinner pair along with a regular pair for each day!! Blisters is the biggest problem they have. We have heard socks with NO COTTON is best to prevent blisters.
5- You should have a 5 GALLON BUCKET. (pack all your items on the list in here)
6- You need to bring a SLEEPING BAG, PILLOW and SMALL SLEEPING PAD. These need to be in a GARBAGE BAG with YOUR NAME on it.
7- When you come Thursday morning remember to bring a SACK LUNCH!
ON THE TREK NEED TO START TODAY DRINKING AT LEAST 8 GLASSES OF WATER A DAY TO BE PREPARED.
8- Wed. July 28th is the BUCKET CHECK. You must have your bucket with EVERYTHING you are taking inside, keep 1 outfit out to wear on Thursday (besides your sleeping gear and a sack lunch) YOUR BUCKET MUST BE AT THE STAKE CENTER BETWEEN 6-7 P.M. IT CANNOT WEIGH MORE THAN 17 lbs. Remember, we want them light we will be pulling them in our carts. Only bring the items on the list. Write your name on it!
19- Everyone needs to be at the STAKE CENTER Dressed in your Pioneer clothes Thursday July 29 at 8:30 A.M. with their Sleeping gear and a sack lunch
We will be heading home around 3 p.m. Saturday

Hope this doesn't overwhelm you! Please let us help. We know all the work we do now will be well worth it and we'll gain a deeper appreciation for our ancestors and a firmer testimony of our Savior. Thanks for all you are doing.
