Hard Things

We are getting a new Temple.

The Gilbert Temple.

It's going to be our Temple.

It is under construction and scheduled to be completed 2013.

Britton did the zoning work for this Temple.

This Temple is special to us.

Today...

Aubrey and Chloe hiked 14.25 miles to the Gilbert Temple.

They started at a park near the Stake Center.

They completed the hike in 4 hours.

They completed the hike on 100 + degree day.

They were moving.

I am so proud of them.

As a parent, I am so grateful for activities like this.

I know my girls will never forget this experience.

About 120 girls hiked, plus a myriad of amazing leaders.

If someone started to struggle...

friends and leaders did whatever was needed to get them to the end.

Every single one of them finished.

Hard things.

Important things.

A very sweet day.
