My oldest boy told how at one point there was a fairly steep hill to climb with the carts. The men were ordered to sit and let the women do it alone. After some time many of the young men were getting upset at having to let the women and girls suffer. When the she-folk got near the top (if they hadn't made it yet) the men were finally able to help. My son said it was the hardest part of the whole trek to watch them suffer and struggle. But he understood why they did it that way. They learned just how hard it was out there on the plains. Unfortunately my daughter and younger son did not get to go on a trek this year. It was cancelled. I hope they get the chance someday!The Farm-Marmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16317109590740405836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701812027455701320.post-81747688271904974362012-06-10T15:27:10.230-07:002012-06-10T15:27:10.230-07:00Dear Maddie's Mom,

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed having Maddie in our family. She is amazing. She constantly amazing me with her determination. even though she was still recovering from having pneumonia only a couple of weeks prior she would not give up. She fought through the hardest day with grit and determination. She carried our 10-pound flour baby (Jedidiah) pretty much the whole time. She cared for him, made a sling, fixed his blanket, neck, etc. Anything to make him more comfortable. Many of the other girls sought her out because of the warmth that exudes from her. You have raised a true young woman of virtue, kindness and love. My life will never be the same...Maddie is a wonderful young woman, an amazing example to others. One word to describe Maddie - INCREDIBLE!<br /><br />Much Love,<br /><br />Ma Jenny Roberts (Jenny-Bob)Jenny Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790518433324190899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701812027455701320.post-60941888250060009562012-06-10T13:39:22.665-07:002012-06-10T13:39:22.665-07:00that is awesome and amazing! something to be so pr...that is awesome and amazing! something to be so proud of!! our kids are going to World Changers this week, my husband goes every year even tho we don't have one old enuff to go, it's his calling to work with older youth. thank you so much for sharing!mwimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398705619781640977noreply@blogger.com
