Dylan went on the "Trek" this summer. For those of you who don't know what the Trek is. It is a way to follow the experiences of the early Saints and connect with our spiritual heritage. On the Trek they try to reenact a small part of the journey the pioneers went through to establish the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Salt Lake Valley. This experience we so good for him. When we picked him up he was covered in black dirt which made his teeth looked so white. After our hello's and good bye's we loaded in the car and I asked him how his trip was. He said "It was awesome!!" then he proceeded to tell us how much he loved us as he began to cry. He changed up on that mountain. He had changed for the better! It was one of those mother moments for me that I will never forget!! I realized that my baby had gotten "it". It meaning knowing the gospel was true, knowing how important family was. It meaning realizing how much our ancestors went through to restore the gospel and how to love and except everyone for who they are. What a good feeling to know that my baby understood.
