On April 20th, the Lone Mountain Ward Young Women walked from our church building to the Las Vegas temple. A total distance of about 18 miles across the city. It was an amazing experience. We did it for a couple of reasons. First, our Stake's Pioneer Trek was coming up in June so we had been walking every Saturday in preparation for the temple walk and trek. The biggest reason though was we wanted this walk to be the hardest trip to the temple the girls ever made. It was pretty hard too. My feet held up fine and I really did ok for the most part, but I was so tired after! Everyone thought we were walking for breast cancer with our pink shirts on, but that was ok. We made it in a little over 5 hours. We had a great lunch up at the temple, then a little fireside, then got to drive home. There were some scary parts along the way, but the girls were troopers and did great. My favorite part was the last vignette almost by the temple, my little girls and a few others sang a song to all those walking. They were so cute!
