Dear 2018 Glenmoor Stake Trekkers,  

Thank you to our amazing youth, ma's and Pa's and company captains that joined us on this trek and spiritual, 3-day journey. Thank you for your amazing spirits and enthusiasm for the gospel of Jesus Christ, thank you for your obedience and willingness to set things aside to be a part of this challenging and yet rewarding "wilderness experience."  Thank you parents for raising youth that are a part of this"noble birthright." Thank you for encouraging them to join us and for helping them get ready to go and for helping cleaning up afterwards.

Thank you to an incredible Stake Presidency and their wives for participating throughout trek, and for the inspiration and testimonies that they shared.

Trekkers, we hope that you felt what we felt and learned what we learned from this enjoyable experience. As leaders, we were impressed with your strength and devotion. We witnessed you doing "hard things" without a complaint. Thanks you for for the kindness you showed to your families and each other throughout trek.  Mark Twain wrote: "Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see." ....and truly, the power of this Christ-like charity, love and kindness was felt throughout our trek experience.

Please continue to build upon this trek experience by recording your personal thoughts, inspirations and impressions that you enjoyed throughout trek in your trek journals. Be sure to share your experiences and testimony with your family and friends.

Lastly, a special "Thank You" to our Stake Youth & Trek Committee's and support staff for all of your help making this a successful experience for all involved. There we're so many individuals and support staff working behind the scenes (i.e., medical, food, equipment, photography, missionaries, etc.), going non-stop throughout trek to make it a positive experience... and accumulating blessing upon blessings.

Thanks you everyone.... for your devotion to the Lord and for your desire to "Build upon the Rock" -- Helaman 5:12.  Thank you for an amazing three days that we were blessed to share together!

Sincerely,

The Griffin's
Trek Committee Chairs
