River Crossing with Riverdale ward

The Sweetwater river is so full. It is running over it banks and has been for the last month. We are unable to allow the trekkers to cross in the river because it is too deep and too swift. So we have an alternate crossing at several places on the trail. This is just one of them. They are crossing a irrigation ditch here in the picture. Doug was in heaven as he shared a little time with some of the young boys as they trekked to the river crossing. We share a message about the importance of water in our life and then share a pioneer story about saints helping each other as they cross difficult challenges in their life.
Before we shared our part before the river crossing, 4 darling primary girls were prepared and sang a beautiful song called:"Somewhere there's a mountain," from the CD "Trek" by Jason Deere. We had never heard it before so we went on line and ordered it from Deseret Books.

Somewhere there's a mountain
it must be far away
'Cause I stand on my tiptoes
And I can't see a thing.

Somewhere there's a mountain
I heard the prophet say
That we'll build a home there
And never have to go away.

It's a long, long way to walk
But one day I'll climb to the top
Somewhere there's a mountain
With flowers in the spring

I will take my shoes off
and wake the mountain stream.

It's a long, long way to walk
But one day I'll climb to the top.

And that's where I'll find Jesus
And when I see Him smile
I'll put my arms around Him
It will be worth every mile.

Somewhere there's a mountain!
