Doug and I had the opportunity to do the women's pull 'n' the men's call out. Doug called all the young men and male leader out to follow him. They proceeded to head up to the top of the hill and Doug and the stake president are to share a message with the young men about honoring their priesthood and honoring womenhood. While the men walked up the hill, I and the stake young women's president shared a message about the importance of the priesthood in our lives and what they should do to help them cherish and be worthy of the priesthood they hold. I also shared with them how they might have to pull the handcart alone at some time in their life. How they need to ponder what burdens they are carrying around and to get rid of them. Distractions and bad choices can weigh us down.
At the top of the hill by the time the young women had pulled and pushed their handcarts up there the young men and leaders were standing on both sides of the trail with hats over their hearts witnessing the struggle and triumph of the young women. Awesome experience!
