Kev was able to go to Youth Conference this year and had a great time. They started out with some service and then loaded into boats and headed up the lake for some quality time together and a look into our Pioneer heritage. Kev was so excited to go because we had just finished reading "The Undaunted" a story about the pioneers that went through Hole in the Rock. He was excited to go to the hole in the rock and speak with the youth about the pioneer experiences. In the picture below Bishop and Kev (in the last big thing they did as a bishopric) are standing near a significant engraving on the sandstone.

Unfortunately in 1994 Rob and Kathi didn't look close enough to see what they were marking over.
If you look closely you can see the inscription "Paso por Aqui ano 1776". Researchers believe this is inscribed by Spanish Priests Dominiguez and Escalante as they passed through this area in 1776. A look at Hole in the Rock from the water.

Heading back down. This picture truly gave me a whole new appreciation for our pioneer heritage and their undying faith. Look how steep that is; and they took their wagons down it.

Amazing dwellings

Man we live in a beautiful area!

He's the man! We sure missed him while he was gone, but we are glad that he had such a great time.
